| Active Ports | Lists the ports that are actively participating members of this Port Channel, in Slot/Port notation (Unit/Slot/Port for stackable systems). |
| Load Balance | The algorithm used to distribute traffic load among the physical ports of the port channel while preserving the per-flow packet order. The packet attributes the load-balancing algorithm can use to determine the outgoing physical port include the following:
