interface that is part of that port channel. In the following example, interface TengigabitEthernet 1/6 is part of port channel 5,
which is in Layer 2 mode, and an error message appeared when an IP address was configured.

Reassigning an Interface to a New Port Channel
An interface can be a member of only one port channel. If the interface is a member of a port channel, remove it from the first
port channel and then add it to the second port channel.
Each time you add or remove a channel member from a port channel, the system recalculates the hash algorithm for the port
channel.
To reassign an interface to a new port channel, use the following commands.
1. Remove the interface from the first port channel.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
no channel-member interface
2. Change to the second port channel INTERFACE mode.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
interface port-channel id number
3. Add the interface to the second port channel.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
channel-member interface
The following example shows moving the TengigabitEthernet 1/8 interface from port channel 4 to port channel 3.
Dell(conf-if-portch)#show config
!
interface Port-channel 4
no ip address
channel-member TengigabitEthernet 1/8
no shutdown
Dell(conf-if-portch)#no chann te 1/8
Dell(conf-if-portch)#int port 5
Dell(conf-if-portch)#channel te 1/8
Dell(conf-if-portch)#show conf
!
interface Port-channel 5
no ip address
channel-member TengigabitEthernet 1/8
shutdown
Dell(conf-if-portch)#
Configuring the Minimum Oper Up Links in a Port Channel
You can configure the minimum links in a port channel (LAG) that must be in “oper up” status to consider the port channel to be
in “oper up” status.
To set the “oper up” status of your links, use the following command.
● Enter the number of links in a LAG that must be in “oper up” status.
