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.
To remove an EtherChannel, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch(config)# no interface port-channel
port_channel_number
Step 2
Switch(config)# end
Step 3
Switch# show etherchannel summary
This example shows how to remove port channel 1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# no interface port-channel 1
Switch(config)# end
Displaying EtherChannel to a Virtual Switch System
Catalyst 4500 series switches support enhanced PAgP. If a Catalyst 4500 series switch is connected to a
Catalyst 6500 series Virtual Switch System (VSS) by using a PAgP EtherChannel, the Catalyst 4500
series switch automatically serve as a VSS client, using enhanced PAgP on this EtherChannel for
dual-active detection. This VSS client feature has no impact on the performance of Catalyst 4500 series
switch and does not require any user configuration.
