Port-Channel/LAG (802.3ad) Commands

This section describes the commands you use to configure port-channels, which is defined in the 802 .3ad
specification, and that are also known as link aggregation groups (LAGs) . Link aggregation allows you to
combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link . Network devices treat the aggregation
as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing . The LAG feature initially
load shares traffic based upon the source and destination MAC address . Assign the port-channel (LAG) VLAN
membership after you create a port-channel . If you do not assign VLAN membership, the port-channel might
become a member of the management VLAN which can result in learning and switching issues .
A port-channel (LAG) interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both . All members of a port channel must
participate in the same protocols .) A static port-channel interface does not require a partner system to be able to
aggregate its member ports .
Note: If you configure the maximum number of dynamic port-channels (LAGs) that your platform
supports, additional port-channels that you configure are automatically static .

port-channel

This command configures a new port-channel (LAG) and generates a logical slot/port number for the port-

addport

This command adds one port to the port-channel (LAG) . The first interface is a logical slot/port number of a
configured port-channel . You can add a range of ports by specifying the port range when you enter Interface
Config mode (for example: interface 0/1-0/4 . Instead of slot/port,

deleteport (Interface Config)

This command deletes a port or a range of ports from the port-channel (LAG) . The interface is a logical
port number of a configured port-channel (or range of port-channels) . Instead of slot/port,
