Interfaces in a PortChannel

You can add or remove a physical interface (or a range of interfaces) to an existing PortChannel. The
compatible parameters on the configuration are mapped to the PortChannel. Adding an interface to a
PortChannel increases the channel size and bandwidth of the PortChannel. Removing an interface from
a PortChannel decreases the channel size and bandwidth of the PortChannel.
This section describes interface configuration for a PortChannel and includes the following topics:

About Interface Addition to a PortChannel

You can add a physical interface (or a range of interfaces) to an existing PortChannel. The compatible
parameters on the configuration are mapped to the PortChannel. Adding an interface to a PortChannel
increases the channel size and bandwidth of the PortChannel.
A port can be configured as a member of a static PortChannel only if the following configurations are
the same in the port and the PortChannel:
•
•
•
•
•
•
After the members are added, regardless of the mode (ACTIVE and ON) used, the ports at either end are
gracefully brought down, indicating that no frames are lost when the interface is going down (see the
"Generation 1 PortChannel Restrictions" section on page 23-7
page

Compatibility Check

A compatibility check ensures that the same parameter settings are used in all physical ports in the
channel. Otherwise, they cannot become part of a PortChannel. The compatibility check is performed
before a port is added to the PortChannel.
