Configuring the minimum number of LAG member links

Follow this procedure to configure the minimum number of LAG member links that should be functional so that the port-channel interface is operationally up.

About this task

This configuration allows a port-channel to operate at a certain minimum bandwidth at all times. If the bandwidth of the port-channel drops below the minimum number, then the port-channel is declared operationally DOWN even though it has operationally UP members.

Procedure

Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
device(config)# 
```

Enter the interface port-channel command at the global configuration level.

device(config)# interface port-channel 30
device(conf-Port-channel-30)#

Configure the minimum number of LAG member links at the port-channel interface configuration mode.
```
device(conf-Port-channel-30)# minimum-links 5
```
Note
The number of links ranges from 1 to 32. The default minimum links is 1.

Example

The following example sets min-link 5 to the existing port channel interface 30.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface port-channel 30
device(conf-Port-channel-30)# minimum-links 5
