Administrator Guide

NOTE: The switch supports jumbo frames by default (the default maximum transmission unit (MTU) is 9216 bytes). To
configure the MTU, use the mtu command from INTERFACE mode.
To view the interface’s configuration, enter INTERFACE mode for that interface and use the show config command or from
EXEC Privilege mode, use the show running-config interface interface command.
When an interface is added to a port channel, the system recalculates the hash algorithm.
To add a physical interface to a port, use the following commands.
1. Add the interface to a port channel.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
channel-member interface
The interface variable is the physical interface type and slot/port information or port extender (PE) type and pe-id/unit-
number/port-id information.
2. Double check that the interface was added to the port channel.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
show config
To view the port channel’s status and channel members in a tabular format, use the show interfaces port-channel
brief command in EXEC Privilege mode, as shown in the following example.
Dell#show int port brief
LAG Mode Status Uptime Ports
1 L2L3 up 00:06:03 Te 1/6 (Up) *

Te 1/8 (Up)

Dell#
To view a summary of the port channel’s status, use the show interfaces port-channel brief command.
Dell#show interfaces port-channel brief
Codes: L - LACP Port-channel
O - OpenFlow Controller Port-channel
A - Auto Port-channel
I - Internally Lagged
LAG Mode Status Uptime Ports

The following example is for a L2 port channel with port extender interfaces.
Dell#show interface port-channel 111
Port-channel 111 is up, line protocol is up
