Usage
Use the interface port-channel command to access this command.
Information
You cannot add an interface to a Port Channel if the interface contains an IP
address in its configuration.
Link MTU and IP MTU considerations for Port Channels are:
•
•
When an interface is removed from a Port Channel with the no channel-member
command, the interface reverts to its configuration prior to joining the Port
Channel.
An interface can belong to only one Port Channel.
You can add up to 16 interfaces to a Port Channel on the MXL switch. The
interfaces can be located on different line cards but must be the same physical
type and speed (for example, all 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces). However, you can
combine 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces in the same Port Channel.
If the Port Channel contains a mix of interfaces with 100 Mb/s speed and 1000
Mb/s speed, the software disables those interfaces whose speed does not match
the speed of the first interface configured and enabled in the Port Channel. If that
first interface goes down, the Port Channel does not change its designated speed;
disable and re-enable the Port Channel or change the order of the channel
members configuration to change the designated speed. If the Port Channel
contains a mix of interfaces with 100 Mb/s speed and 1000 Mb/s speed, the
software disables those interfaces whose speed does not match the speed of the
first interface configured and enabled in the Port Channel. If that first interface
goes down, the Port Channel does not change its designated speed; disable and
re-enable the Port Channel or change the order of the channel members
configuration to change the designated speed. For more information about Port
Channels, refer to the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide.

• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator. This command is
supported in Programmable-Mux (PMUX) mode only.
Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
All members must have the same link MTU value and the same IP MTU value.
The Port Channel link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link
MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members. For example, if
the members have a link MTU of 2100 and an IP MTU 2000, the Port Channel's
MTU values cannot be higher than 2100 for link MTU or 2000 bytes for IP MTU.
