Chapter 6 Configuring Port Channels
Configuring Port Channels
DETAILED STEPS
This example shows how to configure the port-channel interface for port channel group 2 to send and
receive pause packets:
switch# configure terminal
switch (config)# interface port-channel 2
switch(config-if)# flowcontrol receive on
switch(config-if)# flowcontrol send on
Configuring Load Balancing Using Port Channels
You can configure the load-balancing algorithm for port channels that applies to the entire device or to
only one module regardless of the VDC association. Module-based load balancing takes precedence over
device-based load balancing.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Enable LACP if you want LACP-based port channels.
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
flowcontrol {receive | send} {desired |
off | on}
Example:
switch(config-if)# flowcontrol send
desired
switch(config-if)#
Sets the flow control parameters for sending and
receiving the pause packets for the port-channel
interface. The default is desired.
Step 4
exit
Example:
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)#
Exits the interface mode and returns to the
configuration mode.
Step 5
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 6
copy running-config startup-config
Example:
switch(config)# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
