Step 9
To remove the port-channel, use the no interface port-channel port-channel-number global
configuration command.
This example shows how to create the logical port channel 5 and assign 172.10.20.10 as its IP address:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface port-channel 5
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# ip address 172.10.20.10 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)# end
Configuring the Physical Interfaces
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an Ethernet port to a Layer 3
EtherChannel. This procedure is required.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
no ip address
Step 4
no switchport

Purpose
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Assign an Ethernet port to the Layer 3 EtherChannel. For
more information, see the
Interfaces" section on page
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify a physical port, and enter interface configuration mode.
Valid interfaces include physical ports.
For a PAgP EtherChannel, you can configure up to eight ports of
the same type and speed for the same group.
For a LACP EtherChannel, you can configure up to 16 Ethernet
ports of the same type. Up to eight ports can be active, and up to
eight ports can be in standby mode.
If the interface is a UNI, you must enter the port-type
Note
nni interface configuration command before configuring
PAgP or LACP.
Ensure that there is no IP address assigned to the physical port.
Put the port into Layer 3 mode.
