port Channel Table

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.285.1.1.1

This table facilitates the creation and deletion of a Port Channel interface to achieve higher bandwidths than just one E_port. More than one E_port can be a member of an Port Channel port. NOTE:Only E_ports can be members of an Port Channel port. A port is added to a Port Channel port by setting portChannelMemberList,and the 'manner' in which the agent performs the type of addition is determined by the value of portChannelAddType. During the period when port(s) is being added to the Port Channel, the agent will not allow to change any parameters of the port(s) being added. Also if the operation is successful (i.e. port(s) is added to the Port Channel) then also the agent will not allow to change any parameters of the individual port(s) that is added. But any change done to the Port Channel port will also be applied to the port(s) which are member(s) of this Port channel port. Once a port(s) is removed from a Port Channel Port it will retain the values that it had when it was a member of the Port Channel port. It will not have the old values it had before joining the Port Channel port. The port(s) that are added/removed to/from a Port Channel port will be put into administratively down (ifAdminStatus='down') which results into operationally down(ifOperStatus='down'). To bring the port up again, the user has to set the port to be administratively up(ifAdminStatus='up'). Then the port goes through its initialization cycle to become active(ifOperStatus='up').
