channel-member
Add an interface to the Port Channel, while in INTERFACE PORTCHANNEL mode.

Syntax
channel-member interface-type slot/port
To remove an interface from a Port Channel, use the no channel-member interface
command.
Parameters
interface-type
slot/port
(OPTIONAL) Enter any of the following keywords and slot/port or
number information:
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
tengigabitethernet followed by slot/port numbers.
The port range is 0 to 63.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE followed by slot/port numbers. The ports are 48,
52, 56, and 60.
Defaults Not configured.
Command Modes INTERFACE PORTCHANNEL
Command History
Version 9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
Usage
Information
Use the interface port-channel command to access this command.
You cannot add an interface to a Port Channel if the interface contains an IP address in its
configuration. Only the shutdown, description, mtu, and ip mtu commands can be
configured on an interface if it is to be added to a Port Channel. The mtu and ip mtu
commands are only available when the chassis is in Jumbo mode.
Link MTU and IP MTU considerations for Port Channels are:
• All members must have the same link MTU value and the same IP MTU value.
• The Port Channel link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and
IP MTU values configured on the channel members. For example, if the members have
a link MTU of 2100 and an IP MTU 2000, the Port Channel’s MTU values cannot be
higher than 2100 for link MTU or 2000 bytes for IP MTU.
When an interface is removed from a Port Channel with the no channel-member
command, the interface reverts to its configuration prior to joining the Port Channel.
An interface can belong to only one Port Channel.
On the S5000, you can have eight interfaces per Port Channel. The interfaces can be located on
different stack-units but must be the same physical type and speed (for example, all 1-Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces). However, you can combine 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces in the
same Port Channel.
