Remove Ports from an MLT LAG

About this task

Important

Important

Before removing a port member from an MLT, you must first disable the port. This ensures that the other side brings its corresponding port member down. This achieves parity on both sides and avoids traffic disruptions.

The shutdown port requires that you enter the interface GigabitEthernet configuration mode. However, to remove ports from an MLT LAG, you can enter any configuration mode.

Procedure

  1. Enter GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

    interface GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]}

    Note

    Note

    If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.

  2. Disable the ports:

    shutdown port {slot/port[/sub-port] [-slot/port[/sub-port]] [,...]}

  3. Remove ports from an MLT LAG:

    no mlt <1-512> member {slot/port[/sub-port] [-slot/port[/sub-port]] [,...]}

Example

Remove port 1/24 from MLT 40:

Switch:1(config)#interface GigabitEthernet 1/24
Switch:1(config-mlt)#shutdown port 1/24
Switch:1(config-mlt)#no mlt 40 member 1/24

Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to use the mlt command.

Variable

Value

<1-512>

Specifies which MLT to add the ports to.

{slot/port[/sub-port] [-slot/port[/sub-port]] [,...]}

Specifies the ports to add to the MLT.

Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats: a single slot and port (slot/port), a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port), or a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port). If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
