Usage
Information

Port Channel interfaces are logical interfaces and can be either in Layer 2 mode (by
using the switchport command) or Layer 3 mode (by configuring an IP address).
You can add a Port Channel in Layer 2 mode to a VLAN.

A Port Channel can contain both 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces. Based on
the first interface configured in the Port Channel and enabled, the Dell Networking
OS determines if the Port Channel uses 100 Mb/s or 1000 Mb/s as the common
speed. For more information, refer to

channel-member

.

If the line card is in a Jumbo mode chassis, you can also configure the mtu and ip
mtu commands. The Link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel
members must be greater than the Link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the
Port Channel interface.

NOTE: In a Jumbo-enabled system, you must configure all members of a Port
Channel with the same link MTU values and the same IP MTU values.

Example

Dell(conf)#int port-channel 2

Dell(conf-if-po-2)#
