PortChannel Deletion

</h1>
<a name="wp1074038"> </a><p class="pBody">
When you delete the PortChannel, the corresponding channel membership is also deleted. All interfaces 
in the deleted PortChannel convert to individual physical links. After the PortChannel is removed, 
regardless of the mode used (ACTIVE and ON), the ports at either end are gracefully brought down, 
indicating that no frames are lost when the interface is going down (see the <a href="intf22.html">&quot;Graceful Shutdown&quot; topic</a>). 

</p>
<a name="wp1074042"> </a><p class="pBody">
If you delete the PortChannel for one port, then the individual ports within the deleted PortChannel 
retain the compatibility parameter settings (speed, mode, port VSAN, allowed VSAN, and port security). 
You can explicitly change those settings as required.

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1074043"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">If you use the default ON mode to avoid inconsistent states across switches and to maintain 
consistency across switches, then the ports shut down. You must explicitly enable those ports again.
</li>
<a name="wp1074044"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">If you use the ACTIVE mode, then the PortChannel ports automatically recover from the deletion.
</li>
