Usage Guidelines
OSMs are not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor Engine 32.
IP Address for the Physical Interface
You do not have to disable the IP address that is assigned to a physical interface that is part of a channel group, but Cisco highly recommends doing so.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Port Channels
You can create both Layer 2 and Layer 3 port channels by entering the interface port-channel command or, when the channel-group gets its first physical interface assignment. The port channels are not created at run time, nor are they created dynamically.
You do not have to create a port-channel interface before assigning a physical interface to a channel group. A port-channel interface is automatically created when the channel group gets its first physical interface, if it is not already created.
Propagation of Configuration and Attribute Changes
Any configuration or attribute changes you make to the port-channel interface are propagated to all interfaces within the same channel group as the port channel. (for example, configuration changes are also propagated to the physical interfaces that are not part of the port-channel, but are part of the channel group.)
The on Keyword
When you use the onkeyword, a usable EtherChannel exists only when a port group in on mode is connected to another port group in the on mode.
Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series Routers
You do not have to create a port-channel interface before assigning a physical interface to a channel group. A port-channel interface is created automatically when the channel group gets its first physical interface, if it is not already created.
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers
The Cisco ASR 1000 series router has the following prerequisites and restriction:
- A port-channel must be created before member links are assigned to it.
- IP addresses must be disabled on member links before those links can be included in a port-channel.
- Fast Ethernet interfaces are not supported.
Cisco Catalyst Switches
The number of valid values for numberdepends on the software release. For software releases prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a)E3, valid values are from 1 to 256; for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3a)E3, 12.1(3a)E4, and 12.1(4)E1, valid values are from 1 to 64. Cisco IOS Release 12.1 E and later releases support a maximum of 64 values ranging from 1 to 256.
The channel-group number is global and is shared between all the channeling protocols. If a specific channel number is used for the PAgP-enabled interfaces of a channel group, that same channel number cannot be used for configuring a channel that has LACP-enabled interfaces or vice versa.
Entering the auto or desirable keyword enables PAgP on the specified interface; the command will be rejected if it is issued on an LACP-enabled interface.
The active and passive keywords are valid on PAgP-disabled interfaces only.
You can change the mode for an interface only if it is the only interface that is designated to the specified channel group.
The on keyword forces the bundling of the interface on the channel without any negotiation.
You can manually configure a switch with PAgP on one side and LACP on the other side in the on mode.
With the on mode, a usable EtherChannel exists only when a port group in on mode is connected to another port group in on mode.
If you enter the channel group command on an interface that is added to a channel with a different protocol than the protocol you are entering, the command is rejected.
If the interface belongs to a channel, the no form of this command is rejected.
All ports in the same channel group must use the same protocol; you cannot run two protocols on one channel group.
PAgP and LACP are not compatible; both ends of a channel must use the same protocol.
You can change the protocol at any time, but this change causes all existing EtherChannels to reset to the default channel mode for the new protocol.
Configure all ports in an EtherChannel to operate at the same speed and duplex mode (full duplex only for LACP mode).
All ports in a channel must be on the same DFC-equipped module. You cannot configure any of the ports to be on other modules.
On systems that are configured with nonfabric-enabled modules and fabric-enabled modules, you can bundle ports across all modules, but those bundles cannot include a DFC-equipped module port.
You do not have to create a port-channel interface before assigning a physical interface to a channel group. A port-channel interface is created automatically when the channel group gets its first physical interface, if it is not already created.
You do not have to disable the IP address that is assigned to a physical interface that is part of a channel group, but it is highly recommended.
You can create both Layer 2 and Layer 3 port channels by entering the interface port-channel command or when the channel group gets its first physical interface assignment. The port channels are not created at runtime or dynamically.
Any configuration or attribute changes that you make to the port-channel interface are propagated to all interfaces within the same channel group as the port channel (for example, configuration changes are also propagated to the physical interfaces that are not part of the port channel but are part of the channel group).
When configuring Layer 2 EtherChannels, you cannot put Layer 2 LAN ports into manually created port-channel logical interfaces.
Only the on mode is supported when using this command with GE-WAN ports on the OSM-2+4GE-WAN+ OSM to create QinQ link bundles for advanced QinQ translation. Also, you cannot use the channel-group command on GE-WAN interfaces if MPLS is configured. You must remove all IP, MPLS, and other Layer 3 configuration commands before using the channel-group command with GE-WAN interfaces.
NoteThe GE-WAN interfaces on an OSM-2+4GE-WAN+ OSM behave slightly differently than other interfaces if you want to move the interface from one group to another. To move most other interfaces, you can enter the channel-group command again to delete the interface from the old group and move it to the new group. For GE-WAN ports, however, you must manually remove the interface from the group by entering the no channel-group command before assigning it to a new group.
Caution
Do not enable Layer 3 addresses on the physical EtherChannel interfaces. Assigning bridge groups on the physical EtherChannel interfaces causes loops in your network.
For a complete list of guidelines, see the “Configuring EtherChannel” section of the Cisco 7600 Series Router Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide.
Fast EtherChannel
Before you assign a Fast Ethernet interface to a Fast EtherChannel group, you must first create a port-channel interface. To create a port-channel interface, use the interface port-channel global configuration command.
If the Fast Ethernet interface has an IP address assigned, you must disable it before adding the Fast Ethernet interface to the Fast EtherChannel. To disable an existing IP address on the Fast Ethernet interface, use the no ip addresscommand in interface configuration mode.
The Fast EtherChannel feature allows multiple Fast Ethernet point-to-point links to be bundled into one logical link to provide bidirectional bandwidth of up to 800 Mbps. Fast EtherChannel can be configured between Cisco 7500 series routers and Cisco 7000 series routers with the 7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) and 7000 Series Chassis Interface (RSP7000CI) or between a Cisco 7500 series router or a Cisco 7000 series router with the RSP7000 and RSP700CI and a Cisco Catalyst 5000 switch.
A maximum of four Fast Ethernet interfaces can be added to a Fast EtherChannel group.
Caution
The port-channel interface is the routed interface. Do not enable Layer 3 addresses on the physical Fast Ethernet interfaces. Do not assign bridge groups on the physical Fast Ethernet interfaces because it creates loops. Also, you must disable spanning tree.
To display information about the Fast EtherChannel, use the show interfaces port-channelEXEC command.
For more guidelines see the “Configuring EtherChannel” section of the Cisco 7600 Series Router Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide and the “Configuring EtherChannel” section of the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide

12.2(33)SB
Support for this command was implemented on the Cisco 10000 series router and integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB. The time allowed for a link switchover was modified from the default of 2 seconds to 250 milliseconds.
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5
Usage Guidelines
Prior to entering the lacp fast-switchover command, you must ensure the following:
- The port channel protocol type is LACP.
- The lacp max-bundle 1command has been entered on the port channel. The lacp fast-switchover command will not affect the lacp max-bundle command.
When you enable LACP 1:1 link redundancy, based on the system priority and port priority, the port with the higher system priority chooses the link as the active link and the other link as the standby link. When the active link fails, the standby link is selected as the new active link without taking down the port channel. When the original active link recovers, it reverts to its active link status. During this change-over, the port channel is also up.
NoteWe recommend that you configure two ports only (one active and one hot-standby) in the bundle for optimum performance.
You can enter this command on any port channels with different EtherChannel protocol types of LACP, Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP), or Fast EtherChannel (FEC).
lacp max-bundle
To define the maximum number of active bundled Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) ports allowed in a port channel, use the lacp max-bundle command in interface configuration mode. To return to the default settings, use the no form of this command.

15.1(2)SNG
This command was implemented on the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Router.
Usage Guidelines
You may assign a port priority to each port on a device running Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). You can specify the port priority by using the lacp port-priority command at the command-line interface (CLI) or use the default port priority (32768) that is carried as part of the LACP protocol data unit (PDU) exchanged with the partner. Port priority is used to decide which ports should be put in standby mode when a hardware limitation or the lacp max-bundle command configuration prevents all compatible ports from aggregating. Priority is supported only on port channels with LACP-enabled physical interfaces.
NoteA high priority number means a low priority.
Port priority together with port number form a port identifier.
To verify the configured port priority, issue the show lacp command.
Examples
This example shows how to set a priority of 23700 for an interface:
Device> enable Device# configure terminal Device(config)# interface ethernet0/0 Device(config-if)# lacp port-priority 23700 Device(config-if)#Related Commands

To configure location information for an interface, use the locationcommand in interface configuration mode. To remove the location information for an interface, use the no form of this command.
location { additional-location-information word | civic-location-id id [port-location] | elin-location-id id }
no location { additional-location-information word | civic-location-id id [port-location] | elin-location-id id }
Syntax Description
Usage Guidelines
You can use the location command to configure location support for interfaces. When you configure the location command on a specific interface or on several interfaces, the location TLVs are transmitted on the respective interfaces every time CDP messages are sent. After entering the location civic-location-idid port-location command, you enter civic location port configuration mode. In this mode, you can enter additional location information for every port. Use the help feature (?) for details on the additional information that you can configure in this mode. You can configure the common attributes globally and specific attributes per port. If an attribute is configured both globally and on a port, the port configuration has higher priority.
The civic location identifier must not exceed 250 bytes.
Examples
The following example shows how to enter civic location information for an interface, and to configure additional information for civic location identifier:
Device(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1 Device(config-if)# location civic-location-id 1 port-location Device(config-if-port)# number 3560 Device(config-if-port)# building 10You can verify your settings by entering the show location civic interface command.
