Chapter 17 PortChannel Configuration
Modifying PortChannels
The following attributes are shown in Figure 17-5:
• VSAN List—The list of VSANs to which the ISLs belong.
• Trunk Mode—You can enable trunking on the links in the PortChannel. Select trunking if your link
is between TE ports. Select nontrunking if your link is between E ports (for example, if your link
is between an MDS switch and another vendor’s switch). Select auto if you are not sure.
• Force Admin, Trunk, Speed, and VSAN attributes to be identical—This ensures that the same
parameter settings are used in all physical ports in the channel. If these settings are not identical, the
ports cannot become part of the PortChannel.
Step 11 Click OK.
The PortChannel is created. Note that it may take a few minutes before the new PortChannel is visible
in the Fabric pane.
