When more than one interface is added to a Layer 2-port channel, the system selects one of the active interfaces in the port
channel to be the primary port. The primary port replies to flooding and sends protocol data units (PDUs). An asterisk in the
show interfaces port-channel brief command indicates the primary port.
As soon as a physical interface is added to a port channel, the properties of the port channel determine the properties of the
physical interface. The configuration and status of the port channel are also applied to the physical interfaces within the port
channel. For example, if the port channel is in Layer 2 mode, you cannot add an IP address or a static MAC address to an
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.
