Port Channels General

Field

Description

Admin Mode

The channel mode desired by the network manager.

Oper Mode

The current operating channel mode of the port.

Force

The method to add port(s) to a Port Channel port.

  • If unchecked, then a compatibility check is done on the parameters of the port(s) being added to this Port Channel. The port(s) being added must have the same physical and configured parameters as the Port Channel port.
  • If checked, a compatibility check is done on only physical parameters. The port(s) being added to this Port Channel port must have same physical parameters. The operation will fail only if the physical parameters are not same. The configured parameters of the port(s) being added are overwritten by configured parameters of this Port Channel port.

The list of the E_ports that are members of this Port Channel port.

Those ports which are actively participating in the PortChannel.

LastAction Status

The status of the last operation (add or remove a member) done to change the member list of a Port Channel Port. When no ports are added or the last operation is successful then this value is successful. If this value is failed then the user can look at LastAddStatusCause to find the reason of failure.
