Port Channel Commands
A Link Aggregation Group (LAG) is a group of links that appear to a MAC client as if they were a single link
according to IEEE 802.3ad. In Dell Networking OS, a LAG is also known as a Port Channel.
For the C9010, the maximum port channel ID is 128 and the maximum members per port channel is
16. The default value for per port channel member is 1.
Because each port can be assigned to only one Port Channel, and each Port Channel must have at least
one port, some of those nominally available Port Channels might have no function because they could
have no members if there are not enough ports installed.
Port Channel can be configured with port extender (PE) interface when feature extended bridge is
enabled.
NOTE: The Dell Networking OS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure
a LAG on both switches manually. For information about Dell Networking OS link aggregation
control protocol (LACP) for dynamic LAGs, see the
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
chapter. For more information about configuring and using Port Channels, see the Dell Networking
OS Configuration Guide.
channel-member
Add an interface to the Port Channel, while in INTERFACE PORTCHANNEL mode.
C9000 Series
Syntax
channel-member interface
To delete an interface from a Port Channel, use the no channel-member
interface command.
Parameters
interface (OPTIONAL) Enter any of the following keywords and slot/
port, peid/stack-unit/port-id, or number information:
For a Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
For a port extender Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the
keyword peGigE then the pe-id / stack-unit / port-id
information. The pe-id range is from 0 to 255; the stack-
unit unit-number range is from 0 to 7; and the port-id
range is from 1 to 48.
