Chapter 6 Configuring Port Channels
Default Settings
• STP computes the cost of a port-channel based on the aggregated bandwidth of the configured port
members. With NX-OS, this cost is not updated dynamically based on the operational state of those
port channel members.
• After you configure a port channel, the configuration that you apply to the port-channel interface
affects the port-channel member ports. The configuration that you apply to the member ports affects
only the member port where you apply the configuration.
• LACP does not support half-duplex mode. Half-duplex ports in LACP port channels are put in the
suspended state.
• You must remove the port-security information from a port before you can add that port to a port
channel. Similarly, you cannot apply the port-security configuration to a port that is a member of a
channel group.
• Do not configure ports that belong to a port-channel group as private VLAN ports. While a port is
part of the private VLAN configuration, the port channel configuration becomes inactive.
• Channel member ports cannot be a source or destination SPAN port.
• You cannot configure the ports from a F1 and an M1 series linecard in the same port channel because
the ports will fail to meet the compatibility requirements.
• Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 5.1, you can bundle up to 16 active links into a port channel
on the F1 series linecard.
