Chapter 9 Configuring EtherChannels

Configuring Etherchannels

Modifying MTU Size on Port-Channel

Complete the following steps to modify MTU size on the port-channel interface:

Restrictions

If the MTU size of a port-channel member link is different from the MTU size of the port-channel interface, the member link is not bundled.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.enable

2.configure terminal

3.interface port-channel number

4.mtu bytes

DETAILED STEPS

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

 

 

Enter your password if prompted.

 

Example:

 

 

Router> enable

 

Step 2

 

 

configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Router# configure terminal

 

Step 3

 

 

interface port-channel number

Selects a port-channel interface and enters interface

 

 

configuration mode.

 

Example:

number—Specifies the port-channel interface

 

Router(config)# interface port-channel 1

number. The range is from 1 to 8.

Step 4

 

 

mtu bytes

Configures the MTU size for port-channel interface.

 

 

bytes—The range is from 1500 to 9216. The

 

Example:

default is 9216.

 

Router(config-if)# mtu 4000

Note To set the MTU size to its default value, use

 

 

 

 

the no mtu or default mtu command.

 

 

 

Verifying the MTU Size on Port-Channel

To verify the MTU size on port-channel interface, use the show interface port-channelcommand.

Router# show interface port-channel 1

Port-channel1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)

 

 

Hardware is EtherChannel, address is 4055.3989.4a15 (bia 4055.3989.4a15)

 

 

MTU 4000 bytes, BW 2000000 Kbit/sec, DLY 1000 usec,

 

 

reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 0/255
