port-group

Add a physical port to port channel, the no operation removes specified port from the port channel.

passive enables LACP on the port and sets it in Passive mode; on forces the port to join a port
channel without enabling LACP.
Command mode:
Port Mode.
Default:
Switch ports do not belong to a port channel by default; LACP not enabled by default.
Usage Guide:
If the specified port group does not exist, then print a error message. All ports in a port group must
be added in the same mode, i.e., all ports use the mode used by the first port added. Adding a port
in “on” mode is a “forced” action, which means the local end switch port aggregation does not rely
on the information of the other end, port aggregation will succeed as long as all ports have
consistent VLAN information. Adding a port in “active” or “passive” mode enables LACP. Ports of at
least one end must be added in “active” mode, if ports of both ends are added in “passive” mode,
the ports will never aggregate.
