Usage Guidelines

Port channel scale and support for SLX 9740 and Extreme 8820 devices:

Table 1. Port-channel scale for SLX 9740/Extreme 8820 devices.
Device	LAG Profile	Supported port-channel IDs	Maximum links per port-channel
SLX 9740-40/Extreme 8820-40	default	1-256; Only 77 portchannels may be created at any one time	64
SLX 9740-80/Extreme 8820-80	default	Only 153 portchannels may be created at any one time.	64

Note

For the 1U SLX 9740-40/Extreme 8820-40 devices, the number of LAGs will be 77, where:
- 76 are the front end ports (all breakouts)
- 1 (insight port)
For the 2U SLX 9740-80/Extreme 8820-80 devices, the number of LAGs will be 153. where:
- 152 are the front end ports (all breakouts)
- 1 (insight port)

(For 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 2. 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, SLX 9250, Extreme 8520, and Extreme 8720) Maximum numbers of port-channel IDs and links per port-channel vary only with device, as follows:

Table 3. Port-channel support for SLX 9150, SLX 9250, Extreme 8520, and Extreme 8720 devices
Device or series	Supported port-channel IDs	Maximum links per port-channel
SLX 9150, SLX 9250, Extreme 8520, and Extreme 8720	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, SLX 9250, Extreme 8520, and Extreme 8720 devices.

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

Examples

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
