42. Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
Commands
42-1 channel-group
This command is used to assign an interface to a channel group. Use the no form of this command to
remove an interface from a channel-group.
channel-group CHANNEL-NO mode {on | active | passive}
no channel-group
Parameters
Default
None.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration Mode.
Command Default Level
Level: 12.
Usage Guideline
The command is available for physical port interface configuration. The system will automatically
create the port-channel when a physical port first joins a channel group. An interface can only join one
channel-group.
If the mode on is specified in the command, the channel group type is static. If the mode active or
passive is specified in the command, the channel group type is LACP. A channel group can only
consist of either static members or LACP members. Once the type of channel group has been
determined, other types of interfaces cannot join the channel group.
Use the no form of this command to remove the interface from the channel group. If the channel
group has no member ports left after a port is removed, the channel group will be deleted
automatically. A port channel can also be removed by the no interface port-channel command.
If the security function is enabled on a port, then this port cannot be specified as a channel group
member.
Example
This example shows how to assign Ethernet interfaces 1/0/4 to 1/0/5 to a new LACP channel-group,
with an ID of 3, and sets the LACP mode to active.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range eth1/0/4-1/0/5
Switch(config-if)# channel-group 3 mode active
Switch(config-if)#
