2.13 Port-Channel/LAG (802.3ad) Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure port-channels, which are also known as link aggregation
groups (LAGs). Link aggregation allows you to combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link.
Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load
sharing. The LAG feature initially load shares traffic based upon the source and destination MAC address. Assign
the port-channel (LAG) VLAN membership after you create a port-channel.
A port-channel (LAG) interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a port channel must
participate in the same protocols.) A static port-channel interface does not require a partner system to be able to
aggregate its member ports.
2.13.1 port-channel
This command configures a new port-channel (LAG) and generates a logical slot/port number for the port-channel.
The field is a character string which allows the dash “-” character as well as alphanumeric characters. Use
the show port channel command to display the slot/port number for the logical interface.
2.13.1.1 no port-channel
This command deletes a port-channel (LAG).
2.13.2 addport
This command adds one port to the port-channel (LAG). The first interface is a logical slot/port number of a
configured port-channel.
Note: If you configure the maximum number of dynamic port-channels (LAGs) that your platform
supports, additional port-channels that you configure are automatically static.
Note: Before you include a port in a port-channel, set the port physical mode. For more information, see
2.1.11 “speed” on page 2 - 6.
