Configuring PortChannel
You can use the port-channel command to create groups of tool ports and provide traffic load-balancing. By default, symmetric hashing is enabled for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, redirecting the source-destination pair to the same tool-connected port.
Reference
Command
port-channel <channelid>ports<portname>[description<string>] no port-channel <channelid>ports
Description
Port-channel configuration
Parameters
channelid - within 1 to 16 portname - valid interface names delimited by (,) string - a maximum of 50 characters, within double quotes
Mode
CONFIG
PortChannel can only be configured as a Tool port in a flow
Example
pbnoscli# configure terminal
pbnoscli(config)# port-channel 1
ports Add physical ports to port channel
pbnoscli(config)# port-channel 1 ports
<portname> Add ports (Add multiple ports comma delimited)
pbnoscli(config)# port-channel 1 ports Ethernet63/1,Ethernet64/1
pbnoscli(config)#
pbnoscli(config)# no port-channel 1 ports
pbnoscli(config)#
You can verify the configuration by using the command(s) below:
pbnoscli# show port-channel information
