Port Channel Commands
A link aggregation group (LAG) is a group of links that appear to a MAC client as if they were a single link
according to IEEE 802.3ad. In the Dell Networking OS, a LAG is referred to as a Port Channel.
•
For the MXL switch, the maximum port channel ID is 128 and the maximum members per port
channel is 16.
Because each port can be assigned to only one Port Channel, and each Port Channel must have at least
one port, some of those nominally available Port Channels might have no function because they could
have no members if there are not enough ports installed. In the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module, those
ports could be provided by stack members.
NOTE: The Dell Networking OS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure
a LAG on both switches manually. For information about Dell Networking OS link aggregation
control protocol (LACP) for dynamic LAGs, refer to the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
chapter. For more information about configuring and using Port Channels, refer to the Dell
Networking OS Configuration Guide.
channel-member
