Description

Use this command to add an interface to a port-channel specified by the channel-group number. 
This command enables link aggregation on an interface, so that it may be selected for aggregation 
by the local system. Use the no channel-group command to remove the port-channel members.

Usage

Guidelines

Only a maximum of 24 LAGs can be created. Note the following:

•

A maximum of four link aggregation groups can be created per switch when the type is set to 
brocade.

•

A maximum of four links can become part of a single aggregation group when the type is set to 
brocade and they must be on the same port-channel. 

•

Links 0-7 belong to port-channel 1; links 8-15 belong to port-channel 2, and links 16-23 
belong to port-channel 3. 

•

For the standard type, a maximum of 16 links can be aggregated per aggregation group and 
they can be members of any port-channel.
