( SLX 9540 and SLX 9640) Maximum numbers of port-channel IDs and links per port-channel vary with device and LAG profile, as follows:

Table 1. Port-channel scale for SLX 9540 and SLX 9640 devices
Device or series	LAG profile	Supported port-channel IDs	Maximum links per port-channel
SLX 9540 SLX 9640	default	1–256; Only 64 port-channels may be created at any one time.	64
SLX 9540 SLX 9640	lag-profile-1	1–256; Only 64 port-channels may be created at any one time.	32

( SLX 9150 and SLX 9250) Maximum numbers of port-channel IDs and links per port-channel vary only with device, as follows:

Table 2. Port-channel support for SLX 9150 and SLX 9250 devices
Device or series	Supported port-channel IDs	Maximum links per port-channel
SLX 9150, SLX 9250	1–256; Only 128 port-channels may be created at any one time.	64

Note

Non-default LAG profiles are not supported for the SLX 9150 and SLX 9250 devices.

To remove the interface from a port-channel, enter the no form of this command.

The following example associates interface 0/9 with port-channel 4 and activates LACP.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/9 
device(conf-if-eth-0/9)# channel-group 4 mode active
