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, Dell EMC Networking OS 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
The following example shows moving an interface from port channel 4 to port channel 3.
DellEMC(conf-if-po-4)#show config
!
interface Port-channel 4
no ip address
channel-member GigabitEthernet 1/8
no shutdown
DellEMC(conf-if-po-4)#no chann gi 1/8
DellEMC(conf-if-po-4)#int port 3
DellEMC(conf-if-po-3)#channel gi 1/8
DellEMC(conf-if-po-3)#sho conf
!
interface Port-channel 3
no ip address
channel-member GigabitEthernet 1/8
shutdown
DellEMC(conf-if-po-3)#
Configuring the Minimum Oper Up Links in a Port Channel
You can configure the minimum links in a port channel (LAG) that must be in “oper up” status to consider the port channel to be in “oper
up” status.
To set the “oper up” status of your links, use the following command.
• Enter the number of links in a LAG that must be in “oper up” status.
INTERFACE mode
minimum-links number
The default is 1.
Example of Configuring the Minimum Oper Up Links in a Port Channel
DellEMC#config t
DellEMC(conf)#int po 1
DellEMC(conf-if-po-1)#minimum-links 5
DellEMC(conf-if-po-1)#
Adding or Removing a Port Channel from a VLAN
As with other interfaces, you can add Layer 2 port channel interfaces to VLANs. To add a port channel to a VLAN, place the port channel
in Layer 2 mode (by using the switchport command).
To add or remove a VLAN port channel and to view VLAN port channel members, use the following commands.
