channel-group

Assigns and configures a physical interface to a link aggregation group (LAG).

Syntax

channel-group number mode { on | active | passive }

no channel-group

Parameters

number

Specifies the number of the channel groups. Valid range is from 1 through 255.

mode

Specifies the LAG mode of the interface.

on: Specifies that all LAGs that are not running LACP remain in this mode. This is the default mode.
active: Enables LACP on the specified interface.
passive: Enables LACP only if an LACP device is detected.

Modes

Interface config mode

Usage Guidelines

This command is available only to users with the admin role.

The LAG in the on channel mode is a pure LAG (static-lag), and can aggregate a maximum of 64 ports.

Validations for the command are as follows:

The channel-group must be already present.
MTU must not be configured.
A port must be mapped with only one channel-group.
The speed of the member ports must be same as the current port.
The ingress-group or egress object configured on an interface cannot be configured as a member port of the port- channel.

The no channel-group command removes the interface from the channel-group.

Examples

The following examples configure a physical interface to the channel-group.

device# configure terminal 
device# interface ethernet 1/1 
device#(config-if-eth-1/1)# channel-group 1 mode on 
device#(config-if-eth-1/1)# no shutdown 
device#(config-if-eth-1/1)# end 

device# show running-config 
interface ethernet 1/1 
  channel-group 1 mode on 
  no shutdown 

device# configure terminal 
device(config)# interface port-channel 100
