unable to find etherchannel in FMC 6.5.0.2 with FTDv-2130 6.3.0

Hi

I have a FTDv-2130 version 6.3.0 managed by a FMC with version 6.5.0.2; and i can't find etherchannel in main page of the device when i want to add an etherchannel interface. see below the picture.

Thanks

Etherchannel is only supported on physical hardware not virtual appliances (FTDv or ASAv).

i understand that Etherchannel is supported on physical hardware, so why in my FTDv i don't have this ...

@MedTiti92 because an etherchannel is a virtual interface, so in the virtual environment you'd be bundling 2 or more virtual interfaces into another virtual interface. There is no benefit doing that, hence why it's not supported.

I do not believe that the Virtual version support Port-channel.

I do have implementation for the hardware it supports.
