CLI will prevent adding internal ports to a LAG

To check the configuration of the ports on the Dell PowerConnect 5316M use the ‘show running- config’ command and look at the “interface Ethernet gxx” configurations, where the “xx” indicates the port number. In the following example, the “no gvrp enable” command would have to be issued on port g11 before it could be added to a LAG.

5316M(config-if)# exit 5316M(config)# exit 5316M# show running-config interface range ethernet g(13-16) channel-group 1 mode on

exit

interface ethernet g11 gvrp enable

exit

Port configuration differences with Dell and CISCO

On the Dell PowerConnect 5316M, configurations for the LAG take precedence over the configuration of the port. In the following example, port g11 is actually set to 100 Mbps (and not set at 10 Mbps) because the LAG is set to 100 Mbps. If g11 is removed from the LAG, the port configuration will be applied (g11 would be set to 10Mbps)

5316M# show running-config interface port-channel 1 speed 100

no negotiation exit

interface ethernet g11 speed 10

no negotiation exit

interface range ethernet g(11,13-16) channel-group 1 mode on

exit

On Cisco IOS and CatOS based switches, ports must be configured identically to be included in a LAG.
