Examples of the show interfaces port-channel Commands
To view the port channel’s status and channel members in a tabular format, use the show interfaces port-channel brief
command in EXEC Privilege mode, as shown in the following example.
Dell#show int port brief
LAG Mode Status Uptime Ports
1 L2L3 up 00:06:03 Te 1/1/1/1 (Up) *
Te 1/1/1/2 (Up)
2 L2L3 up 00:06:03 Te 1/1/1/3 (Up) *
Te 1/1/1/4 (Up)
Te 1/1/2/1 (Up)
Te 1/1/2/2 (Up)

The following example shows the port channel’s mode (L2 for Layer 2 and L3 for Layer 3 and L2L3 for a Layer 2-port channel assigned to a
routed VLAN), the status, and the number of interfaces belonging to the port channel.

When more than one interface is added to a Layer 2-port channel, Dell Networking OS selects one of the active interfaces in the port
channel to be the primary port. The primary port replies to ooding and sends protocol data units (PDUs). An asterisk in the show
interfaces port-channel brief
command indicates the primary port.
As soon as a physical interface is added to a port channel, the properties of the port channel determine the properties of the physical
interface. The conguration and status of the port channel are also applied to the physical interfaces within the port channel. For example,
if the port channel is in Layer 2 mode, you cannot add an IP address or a static MAC address to an interface that is part of that port
channel. In the following example, interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/6/1 is part of port channel 5, which is in Layer 2 mode, and an error
message appeared when an IP address was congured.
Dell(conf-if-portch)#show config
