ABSTRACT:
A method for power-efficient configuration of one or more physical ports at a network device in an EtherChannel is provided. Parameters for allocation of the physical ports to a logical port are negotiated with a link partner. Thereafter, bandwidth load at the logical port is compared with the parameter. The physical ports are configured, based on the comparison.
