pre-Version6.2.1.0Introduced on E-Series.UsageInformationPort Channel interfaces are logical interfaces and can be either in Layer 2 mode (byusing the switchport command) or Layer 3 mode (by configuring an IP address).You can add a Port Channel in Layer 2 mode to a VLAN.The shutdown, description, and name commands are the only commands thatyou can configure on an interface while it is a member of a Port Channel. To add aphysical interface to a Port Channel, the interface can only have the shutdown,description, and name commands configured. The Port Channel’s configurationis applied to the interfaces within the Port Channel.A Port Channel can contain both 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces. Based onthe first interface configured in the Port Channel and enabled, Dell Networking OSdetermines if the Port Channel uses 100 Mb/s or 1000 Mb/s as the common speed.For more information, refer to channel-member.If the line card is in a Jumbo mode chassis, you can also configure the mtu and ipmtu commands. The Link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channelmembers must be greater than the Link MTU and IP MTU values configured on thePort Channel interface.NOTE: In a Jumbo-enabled system, all members of a Port Channel must beconfigured with the same link MTU values and the same IP MTU values.Example Dell(conf)#int port-channel 2Dell(conf-if-po-2)#RelatedCommandschannel-member — adds a physical interface to the LAG.interface — configures a physical interface.interface loopback — configures a Loopback interface.interface null — configures a null interface.interface vlan — configures a VLAN.shutdown — disables/enables the port channel.minimum-linksConfigure the minimum number of links in a LAG (Port Channel) that must be in “oper up” status for theLAG to be also in “oper up” status.S4810Syntax minimum-links number806 Interfaces
