Verifying PortChannel Configuration

Enabling and Configuring Autocreation

Detailed Steps

To configure automatic channel groups, follow these steps:

	Command		Purpose
Step 1
Step 1	switch# config	t	Enters configuration mode.
	switch(config)#
Step 2
Step 2	switch(config)# interface fc8/13		Enters the configuration mode for the selected
	switch(config-	if)#	interface(s).
Step 3
Step 3	switch(config-	if)# channel-group auto	Automatically creates the channel group for the
			selected interface(s).

	switch(config-	if)# no channel-group auto	Disables the autocreation of channel groups for this
			interface, even if the system default configuration
			may have autocreation enabled.

Converting to Manually Configured Channel Groups

You can convert autocreated channel group to a user-configured channel group using the port-channelchannel-group-numberpersistent EXEC command. If the PortChannel does not exist, this command is not executed.

Verifying PortChannel Configuration

To display PortChannel configuration information, perform one of the following tasks:

				Command	Purpose

				show port-channel summary	Displays a summary of PortChannels within the
					switch. A one-line summary of each PortChannel
					provides the administrative state, the operational
					state, the number of attached and active interfaces
					(up), and the first operational port (FOP), which is
					the primary operational interface selected in the
					PortChannel to carry control-plane traffic (no
					load-balancing). The FOP is the first port that
					comes up in a PortChannel and can change if the
					port goes down. The FOP is also identified by an
					asterisk ( * ).

				show port-channel database	Displays the PortChannel configured in the
					default ON mode and ACTIVE mode.

				show port-channel consistency	Displays the consistency status without details.

				show port-channel consistency detail	Displays the consistency status with details.

				show port-channel usage	Displays the PortChannel usage.

				show port-channel compatibility-parameters	Displays the PortChannel compatibility.
