Removing an Interface from an EtherChannel

To remove an Ethernet interface from an EtherChannel, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch(config)# interface {fastethernet |
gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet} slot/port
Step 2
Switch(config-if)# no channel-group
Step 3
Switch(config-if)# end
Step 4
Switch# show running-config interface
{fastethernet | gigabitethernet |
tengigabitethernet} slot/port
Switch# show interface {fastethernet |
gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet} slot/port

This example shows how to remove Fast Ethernet interfaces 5/4 and 5/5 from port channel 1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range fastethernet 5/4 - 5 (Note: Space is mandatory.)
Switch(config-if)# no channel-group 1
Switch(config-if)# end
Removing an EtherChannel
If you remove an EtherChannel, the member ports are shut down and removed from the channel group.
If you want to change an EtherChannel from Layer 2 to Layer 3, or Layer 3 to Layer 2, you must remove
Note
the EtherChannel and recreate it in the desired configuration.
