ONTAP 9.13.1 commands

network port ifgrp add-port

Add a port to an interface group

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

The network port ifgrp add-port command adds a network port to a port interface group. The port interface group must already exist. You can create a port interface group by using the network port ifgrp create command.

The following restrictions apply to port interface groups:

  • A port that is already a member of a port interface group cannot be added to another port interface group.

  • Cluster ports and management ports cannot be in a port interface group.

  • A port to which a logical interface is already bound cannot be added to a port interface group.

  • A port that already has an assigned failover role cannot be added to a port interface group.

  • A VLAN port cannot be added to a port interface group.

  • A port which attaches to a VLAN cannot be added to a port interface group.

  • An interface group port cannot be added to a port interface group.

  • A port that is assigned to a broadcast domain cannot be added to a port interface group.

  • All ports in a port interface group must be physically located on the same node.

Parameters

-node {<nodename>|local} - Node

The node on which the port interface group is located.

-ifgrp <ifgrp name> - Interface Group Name

The port interface group to which a port is to be added.

-port <netport> - Specifies the name of port.

When specified along with the first port added to the ifgrp, the ifgrp will not be placed into any broadcast domain.
