Chapter 6 Configuring Port Channels
Configuring Port Channels
DETAILED STEPS
This example shows how to configure the informational parameters of the bandwidth and delay for port
channel 5:
switch# configure terminal
switch (config)# interface port-channel 5
switch(config-if)# bandwidth 60000000
switch(config-if)# delay 10000
switch(config-if)#
Shutting Down and Restarting the Port-Channel Interface
You can shut down and restart the port-channel interface. When you shut down a port-channel interface,
no traffic passes and the interface is administratively down.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
interface port-channel channel-number
Example:
switch(config)# interface port-channel 2
switch(config-if)
Specifies the port-channel interface that you want to
configure, and enters the interface mode.
Step 3
bandwidth value
Example:
switch(config-if)# bandwidth 60000000
switch(config-if)#
Specifies the bandwidth, which is used for
informational purposes. The range is from 1 to
80,000,000 kbs. The default value depends on the total
active interfaces in the channel group.
Step 4
delay value
Example:
switch(config-if)# delay 10000
switch(config-if)#
Specifies the throughput delay, which is used for
informational purposes. The range is from 1 to
16,777,215 tens of microseconds. The default value is
10 microseconds.
Note Prior to Cisco Release 4.2(1), the default delay
value was 100 microseconds.
Step 5
exit
Example:
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)#
Exits the interface mode and returns to the
configuration mode.
Step 6
show interface port-channel
channel-number
Example:
switch(config-router)# show interface
port-channel 2
(Optional) Displays interface information for the
specified port channel.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config)# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
