Figure 52-5 Ethernet PortChannel Scenario
In Figure 52-5, Gigabit Ethernet ports 3 and 4 in slot 9 are aggregated into an Ethernet PortChannel.
Ethernet PortChannels are not supported on MPS-14/2 modules and 9216i IPS modules.
Note PortChannel interfaces provide configuration options for both Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel.
However, based on the PortChannel membership, only Gigabit Ethernet parameters or Fibre Channel
parameters are applicable.
Configuring Ethernet PortChannels
The PortChannel configuration specified in Chapter 23, “Configuring PortChannels” also applies to
Ethernet PortChannel configurations.
Note Gigabit Ethernet interfaces cannot be added to a PortChannel if one of the following cases apply:
- The interface already has an IP address assigned.
- The subinterfaces are configured on that interface.
- The interface already has an associated IPv4-ACL rule and the PortChannel does not.
Configuring CDP
The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is supported on the management Ethernet interface on the
supervisor module and the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on the IPS module or MPS-14/2 module.
See the “Configuring CDP” section on page 12-12.
Default Settings
Table 52-2 lists the default settings for IP storage services parameters.
