member sets. That first interface may be either the interface that is physically brought up first or was physically operating when interfaces
were added to the port channel. For example, if the first operational interface in the port channel is a Tengigabit Ethernet interface, all
interfaces at 10000 Mbps are kept up, and all other interfaces that are not set to 10G speed or auto negotiate are disabled.
Dell Networking OS brings up the interfaces that are set to auto negotiate so that their speed is identical to the speed of the first channel
member in the port channel.
Interfaces in Port Channels
When interfaces are added to a port channel, the interfaces must share a common speed. When interfaces have a configured speed
different from the port channel speed, the software disables those interfaces.
The common speed is determined when the port channel is first enabled. Then, the software checks the first interface listed in the port
channel configuration. If you enabled that interface, its speed configuration becomes the common speed of the port channel. If the other
interfaces configured in that port channel are configured with a different speed, Dell Networking OS disables them.
Port channels can contain a mix of 1G/10G/40G. The interface speed that the port channel uses is determined by the first port channel
member that is physically up. Dell Networking OS disables the interfaces that do not match the interface speed that the first channel
member sets. That first interface may be either the interface that is physically brought up first or was physically operating when interfaces
were added to the port channel. For example, if the first operational interface in the port channel is a Tengigabit Ethernet interface, all
interfaces at 10000 Mbps are kept up, and all other interfaces that are not set to 10G speed or auto negotiate are disabled.
Dell Networking OS brings up the interfaces that are set to auto negotiate so that their speed is identical to the speed of the first channel
member in the port channel.
Configuration Tasks for Port Channel Interfaces
To configure a port channel (LAG), use the commands similar to those found in physical interfaces. By default, no port channels are
configured in the startup configuration.
These are the mandatory and optional configuration tasks:
•
(mandatory)
•
Adding a Physical Interface to a Port Channel
(mandatory)
•
Reassigning an Interface to a New Port Channel
(optional)
•
Configuring the Minimum Oper Up Links in a Port Channel
(optional)
•
Adding or Removing a Port Channel from a VLAN
(optional)
•
Assigning an IP Address to a Port Channel
(optional)
•
Deleting or Disabling a Port Channel
(optional)
•
Load Balancing Through Port Channels
(optional)
Creating a Port Channel
You can create up to 128 port channels with up to 16 port members per group on the platform.
To configure a port channel, use the following commands.
1
Create a port channel.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface port-channel
id-number
2
Ensure that the port channel is active.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
