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
