Cisco Nexus 5000 Series - Suspended and Isolated States; Adding an Interface to a SAN Port Channel

Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 5.0(2)N2(1), after you enable forcing a port to be added to a channel
group by entering the channel-group force command, the following two conditions occur:
•
When an interface joins a port channel the following parameters are removed and they are operationally
replaced with the values on the port channel; however, this change will not be reflected in the
running-configuration for the interface:
•
QoS
•
Bandwidth
•
Delay
•
STP
•
Service policy
•
ACLs
When an interface joins or leaves a port channel, the following parameters remain unaffected:
•
Beacon
•
Description
•
CDP
•
LACP port priority
•
Debounce
•
UDLD
•
Shutdown
•
SNMP traps
Suspended and Isolated States
If the operational parameters are incompatible, the compatibility check fails and the interface is placed in a
suspended or isolated state based on the configured mode:
•
An interface enters the suspended state if the interface is configured in the On mode.
•
An interface enters the isolated state if the interface is configured in the Active mode.
