cannot add an IP address or a static MAC address to an interface that is part of that port channel. In the
following example, interface GigabitEthernet 1/6 is part of port channel 5, which is in Layer 2 mode, and
an error message appeared when an IP address was configured.
Dell(conf-if-portch)#show config
!
interface Port-channel 5
no ip address
switchport
channel-member GigabitEthernet 1/6
Dell(conf-if-portch)#int gi 1/6
Dell(conf-if)#ip address 10.56.4.4 /24
% Error: Port is part of a LAG Gi 1/6.

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 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
Example of Moving an Interface to a New Port Channel
The following example shows moving the TenGigabitEthernet 0/8 interface from port channel 4 to port
channel 3.
Dell(conf-if-po-4)#show config
!
interface Port-channel 4
no ip address
channel-member TenGigabitEthernet 0/8
no shutdown
Dell(conf-if-po-4)#no chann tengi 0/8
Dell(conf-if-po-4)#int port 3
Dell(conf-if-po-3)#channel tengi 0/8
Dell(conf-if-po-3)#sho conf
!
interface Port-channel 3
no ip address
channel-member TenGigabitEthernet 0/8
shutdown
