Port Channel - Sub Interface

azago

I'd like to know if is it possible to verify a traffic in a subinterface of a port-channel.

When I perform a show int portx.x the traffic is the same of the original port-channel

Hi Alexandre

I might have misunderstood your question but are you asking how to view the individual interfaces within a port-channel ?

If so

switch# sh etherchannel summary

This will show you the etherchannels and the individual ports/interfaces with each etherchannel. You can then run

sh int "interface"

on the individual interfaces.

Hope this has answered your question

Jon

Hi Jon,

I'd like to know how much traffic is passing on a subinterface of a portchannel.

If you see the show commands they only show the traffic on the main port-channel

Hi

What do you mean by "subinterface" ?

I am curious what po24.101 is.

It appears to be a completely separate portchannel, considering it has a separate vlan ID and appearing to be a routed interface while po24 appears to be L2.

Can you explain that a bit further? My understanding about the naming scheme of port-channels may be more limited than I thought and I believe that channel-groups could only include integers.

This raises other questions/research subjects for myself: Are you trying to see individual VLAN (vlan 101) traffic that passes over a specific port channel rather than find the physical interface (gi5/1 & gi6/1) throughput?

Hi Keith

On the old 4006 switches you used to see this sort of configuration. Basically to set up inter-vlan routing you had a port-channel that was a link between the switch and the router within the 4006 chassis.

So with 4500/6500 you would

1) Create vlan at layer 2 ie

vlan 101

2) Create layer 3 SVI for the routing

interface vlan 101

ip address 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0

no shut

On a 4006 you

1) Create vlan at layer 2

set vlan 101

2) Configure port-channel with vlan ID

interface po1.101

encapsulation dot1q

ip address 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0

You have to use the vlan ID ie 101 as the subinterface.

It's really routing on a stick and it was a kind of halfway house before the later switches to be able to do inter-vlan routing on the switch.

I have only ever come across it on 4006 switches but it may be applicable on other switches.

It does raise a good question as you say.

Alexandre, could you be more specific as to what you are trying to find out ?

Jon

Thanks Jon

.... but now I'm confused even more!

Mind you, I only have CatOS experience through 2948s. His show interface call gives IOS responses, not what I am familiar with regarding the (2948) CatOS. So, with the information you provided, his po24.101 is thoroughly grinding me.

Perhaps the OP will saunter back in eventually and provide some insight.

Ignore. I guess I get it. All my portchannels on the 6500 are set to switchports, so they do not allow sub-ints.

To the OP, no idea! Sorry.
