Minimum links
Configure 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.
NOTE:
If the minimum links criteria that you have configured is not met, the port channel operationally goes down only in the
device in which you have configured the minimum links and not on the device at the other side of the port channel.
For the port channel to go down operationally on both sides when the minimum links criteria is not met, you must configure
minimum links on both sides of the port channel.
Enter the number of links in a LAG that must be in oper up status in PORT-CHANNEL mode, from 1 to 32, default 1.

Assign Port Channel IP Address
You can assign an IP address to a port channel and use port channels in L3 routing protocols.
● Configure an IP address and mask on the interface in INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode.
ip address ip-address/mask [secondary-ip-address]
○ ip-address/mask — Specify an IP address in dotted-decimal A.B.C.D format and the mask.
○ secondary-ip-address — Specify a secondary IP address in dotted-decimal A.B.C.D format, which acts as the
interface’s backup IP address.
