new one. There can be a maximum of 6 Port Channels.

Channel.
Link Trap - Specify whether you want to have a trap sent when link status changes. The factory default
is enable, which will cause the trap to be sent.
Administrative Mode - Select enable or disable from the pull down menu. When the Port Channel is
disabled no traffic will flow and LACPDUs will be dropped, but the links that form the Port Channel will not
be released. The factory default is enabled.
