Reassigning an Interface to a New Port Channel

An interface can be a member of only one port channel. If the interface is a member of a port channel, remove it from the first port channel and then add it to the second port channel.

Each time you add or remove a channel member from a port channel, Dell EMC Networking OS recalculates the hash algorithm for the port channel.

To reassign an interface to a new port channel, use the following commands.

  1. Remove the interface from the first port channel.
    INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
    no channel-member interface
  2. Change to the second port channel INTERFACE mode.
    INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
    interface port-channel id number
  3. Add the interface to the second port channel.
    INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
    channel-member interface
