Interface Deletion from a PortChannel

</h1>
<a name="wp1074442"> </a><p class="pBody">
When a physical interface is deleted from the PortChannel, the channel membership is automatically 
updated. If the deleted interface is the last operational interface, then the PortChannel status is changed 
to a down state. Deleting an interface from a PortChannel decreases the channel size and bandwidth of 
the PortChannel.

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1074443"> </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="wp1074444"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">If you use the ACTIVE mode, then the PortChannel ports automatically recover from the deletion.
</li>
</ul></div>
<a name="wp1074445"> </a><p class="pBody">
After the members are deleted, regardless of the mode (ACTIVE and ON) used, 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="pc21.html">&quot;Generation 1 PortChannel Limitations&quot; topic</a> and <a href="intf22.html">&quot;Graceful Shutdown&quot; topic</a>).
