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.
device# configure terminal device(config)#
device(config)# interface port-channel 30 device(conf-Port-channel-30)#
device(conf-Port-channel-30)# minimum-links 5
Note
The number of links ranges from 1 to 32. The default minimum links is 1.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
