• shutdown/no shutdown
• mtu
• ip mtu (if the interface is on a Jumbo-enabled by default)
NOTE: The MXL switch supports jumbo frames by default (the default maximum transmission unit
[MTU] is 1554 bytes) You can configure the MTU using the
mtu command from INTERFACE mode.
To view the interface’s configuration, enter INTERFACE mode for that interface and use the show
config command or from EXEC Privilege mode, use the show running-config interface
interface command.
To add a physical interface to a port, use the following commands.
1. Add the interface to a port channel.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
channel-member interface
The interface variable is the physical interface type and slot/port information.
2. Double check that the interface was added to the port channel.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
show config

To view the port channel’s status and channel members in a tabular format, use the show interfaces
port-channel brief command in EXEC Privilege mode, as shown in the following example.
Dell#show int port brief

The following example shows the port channel’s mode (L2 for Layer 2 and L3 for Layer 3 and L2L3 for a
Layer 2-port channel assigned to a routed VLAN), the status, and the number of interfaces belonging to
the port channel.
