Port channel configuration on H3C switches

This document explains the port-channel configuration on H3c 5920 switch.

To explain the configuration we have  configured two interfaces Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1 and Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/2 in port-channel 1.

Step1.  Login to Switch with admin access.

< H3C-Switch>

Step2. To make configuration changes you must enter in Systemview.

<H3C-Switch>system-view System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z. [H3C-Switch]

Step3. Go to interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1. Make sure that member port and bridge port (if already exist) will have same configuration. 

[H3C-Switch]interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1 [H3C-Switch-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1]port link-aggregation group 1 [H3C-Switch-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1]quit [H3C-Switch]

 Step4. Configure the link-aggregation command in Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/2 as well. 

[H3C-Switch]interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/2 [H3C-Switch-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/2]port link-aggregation group 1 [H3C-Switch-Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/2]quit [H3C-Switch]

Step5. It will create an interface Bridge-Aggregation1 automatically. All the configuration command done in bridge aggregation port will be reflected in member ports.  

Configuration will vary as per the requirement. Configuration done on the Bridge aggregation will be replicated on the member ports automatically.

Note: Description command will not replicated to member ports. It has to be separately configured on member ports.

Step6. Check the Bridge-Aggregation port status.
