Configuring a new port channel interface

Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
Enter the interface port-channel command to create a new port channel interface.
```
device(config)# interface port-channel 30
```

The following example creates a new port channel interface of 30.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface port-channel 30

After creating a new port channel, you can enter no shutdown or shutdown to bring up or down the port-channel, as follows:

device# configuration terminal
device(config)# interface Port-channel 30
2016/10/17-20:31:21, [NSM-1004], 302, M2 | Active | DCE, INFO, SLX,  Port-channel 30 is created.
device(config-Port-channel-30)# 
device(config-Port-channel-30)# no shutdown 
2016/10/17-20:31:26, [NSM-1019], 303, M2 | Active | DCE, INFO, SLX,  Interface Port-channel 30 is administratively up.
device(config-Port-channel-30)#
