How do I find my Cisco port channel?

Use the command, show port-channel summary, to verify the number of port-channels already configured. You can have a maximum of 256 port channels on the Cisco Nexus 1000V. Use this procedure to force the physical interface to take on the characteristics of the port channel.

What is a port channel Cisco?

A port channel is an aggregation of multiple physical interfaces that creates a logical interface. You can bundle up to 32 individual active links into a port channel to provide increased bandwidth and redundancy. Port channeling also load balances traffic across these physical interfaces.

Is port channel and LACP the same?

The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), described by IEEE 802.3ad, defines a method for two switches to automatically establish and maintain link aggregation groups (LAGs, also called channel groups or port channels). Using LACP, a switch can configure LACP-compatible ports into a dynamic LAG.

What is port channel?

Port channels aggregate multiple physical interfaces into one logical interface to provide higher bandwidth, load balancing, and link redundancy. A port channel performs the following functions: • Increases the aggregate bandwidth on a link by distributing traffic among all functional links in the. channel.

What is the difference between a tagged and untagged port?

VLAN-enabled ports are generally categorized in one of two ways, tagged or untagged. These may also be referred to as “trunk” or “access” respectively. The purpose of a tagged or “trunked” port is to pass traffic for multiple VLAN’s, whereas an untagged or “access” port accepts traffic for only a single VLAN.

What is a tagged and untagged port?

Can a port be tagged and untagged at the same time?

– A port can be tagged to multiple Vlans at the same time. – A port can’t be tagged and untagged to the same Vlan. So if uplink between ProCurve and Cisco, the Native Vlan on Cisco should match the Default_Vlan on ProCurve (default to one).
