When configuring Layer 2 EtherChannels, you cannot put Layer 2 LAN ports into manually created 
port channel logical interfaces. If you are configuring a Layer 2 EtherChannel, do not perform the 
procedures in this section (see the 

When configuring Layer 3 EtherChannels, you must manually create the port channel logical 
interface as described in this section, and then put the Layer 3 LAN ports into the channel group (see 
the 

To move an IP address from a Layer 3 LAN port to an EtherChannel, you must delete the IP address 
from the Layer 3 LAN port before configuring it on the port channel logical interface.

To create a port channel interface for a Layer 3 EtherChannel, perform this task: 

When creating the port channel interface, the group number can be one of the following:

Release 12.1(5)E and later—1 through 256, up to a maximum of 64 port channel interfaces

Releases 12.1(4)E1, 12.1(3a)E4, and 12.1(3a)E3—1 through 64

Release 12.1(2)E and earlier—1 through 256

This example shows how to create port channel interface 1:

Router# configure terminal 

Router(config)# interface port-channel 1 

Router(config-if)# ip address 172.32.52.10 255.255.255.0 

Router(config-if)# end 

This example shows how to verify the configuration of port channel interface 1:

Router# show running-config interface port-channel 1 

Building configuration...

Current configuration:

!

interface Port-channel1

 ip address 172.32.52.10 255.255.255.0

 no ip directed-broadcast

end

Router#

Router(config)# interface port-channel number 

Creates the port channel interface.

Router(config)# no interface port-channel number 

Deletes the port channel interface.

Router(config-if)# ip address ip_address mask 

Assigns an IP address and subnet mask to the 
EtherChannel.

Router(config-if)# end 

Exits configuration mode.

Router# show running-config interface 

number 

Verifies the configuration.
