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
Dell Networking OS, a LAG is referred to as a Port Channel.
• The platform supports 128 port channels and 16 members per port channel.
As 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. But stack
members can provide those ports.
NOTE: The Dell Networking OS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you congure 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 conguring and using Port Channels, refer to the Dell
Networking OS Conguration Guide .
channel-member
Add an interface to the Port Channel, while in INTERFACE PORTCHANNEL mode.
Syntax
channel-member interface
To delete an interface from a Port Channel, use the no channel-member interface command.
Parameters
interface (OPTIONAL) Enter any of the following keywords and the interface information:
• For a 1-GigabitEthernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the
slot/port information.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then
the slot/port information.
Defaults Not congured.
