Usage
Information
Port Channel interfaces are logical interfaces and can be either in Layer 2 mode (by configuring
port-channel with switchport command) or Layer 3 mode (by configuring an IP address). You can add
a Port Channel in Layer 2 mode to a VLAN.
A Port Channel can contain both 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces. Based on the first interface
configured in the Port Channel and enabled, FTOS determines if the Port Channel uses 100 Mb/s or
1000 Mb/s as the common speed. Refer to channel-member for more information.
If the stack unit is in a Jumbo mode chassis, then the mtu and ip mtu commands can also be configured.
The Link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members must be greater than the Link
MTU and IP MTU values configured on the Port Channel interface.
