Dell Force10 Z9000 - Interface Port-Channel

interface port-channel
Create a Port Channel interface, which is a link aggregation group (LAG) containing up to 16 physical interfaces on the
E-Series and eight physical interfaces on C-Series and S-Series.
C-Series, E-Series, S-Series, Z-Series, S4810
Syntax
interface port-channel channel-number
To delete a Port Channel, use the no interface port-channel channel-number
command.
Parameters
channel-number For a Port Channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel
followed by a number. For the C-Series, S-Series, and Z9000, the
range is 1 to 128. For the E-Series, the range is 1 to 255 for TeraScale
and 1 to 512 for ExaScale.
Defaults Not configured.

Usage
Information
Port Channel interfaces are logical interfaces and can be either in Layer 2 mode (by using the
switchport command) or Layer 3 mode (by configuring an IP address). You can add a Port
Channel in Layer 2 mode to a VLAN.
The shutdown, description, and name commands are the only commands that you can
configure on an interface while it is a member of a Port Channel. To add a physical interface to
a Port Channel, the interface can only have the shutdown, description, and name
commands configured. The Port Channel’s configuration is applied to the interfaces within the
Port Channel.
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. For more information, refer to channel-
member.
If the line card is in a Jumbo mode chassis, you can also configure the mtu and ip mtu
commands. 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.
NOTE: In a Jumbo-enabled system, all members of a Port Channel must be configured with
the same link MTU values and the same IP MTU values.
