Command
Syntax
channel-group integer
Mode
Port Interface mode
Description
This command is used to create new aggregators and to add ports to
existing aggregators. This differs from the standard command line
interface which has different commands for these two functions.
If you specify an unused name, the command creates a new aggregator.
If, on the other hand, you specify the name of an existing aggregator, the
designated ports are added to the aggregator.
This command does not let you specify the name, adminkey, or load
distribution method of a new aggregator. The default values are used for
these parameters.
If you use this command to create the first aggregator on a switch, LACP is
automatically activated. You do not have to activate it manually.
Example
These commands create a new aggregator of ports 11 and 12, named
‘po2’. LACP is automatically activated if this is the first aggregator on the
switch. If there is already an aggregator with the same name, the
command adds the ports to it:

awplus(config)# interface 11-12
awplus(config-if)# channel-group 2
