I remember a while back I saw a doc about following restriction in similiar wording about port-channel/etherchannel supportiveness on the ISR 4K.
"It is not supported to build an etherchannel with member ports from different modules."
I have a 4451-x running IOS-XE v17.6.5 with NIM-2GE-CU-SFP besides the front panel module. I want to build a port-channel/etherchannel with member ports from front panel module as well as the NIM...The system accepts the configuration without issue but I do not know if it would be functioning fine...
Also I can not find that doc to show me about this above restriction anymore and wondering if anyone could help advise if this is still valid restriction?
Thanks!

ISP 4K is not support LACP so you need to make PO mode ON not active/passive
check the interface status
and check of the PO input/output count increase or not

"I do have LACP port-channel running on ISR 4K and ASR routers."
Yea, I thought I've read that. BTW, however, definitely earlier ISRs, with also their earlier IOS versions, did not support LACP. You had to manually activate Etherchannel, as @MHM Cisco World described. Those platforms also didn't support any load balancing algorithm choices either. Don't know if that's still true too.
Regarding different network modules, I recall on 6500s, there were issues using Etherchannel with ports on different line card architectures, although there was a command to override the restriction. Perhaps there was (is) a similar restriction when mixing built-in ports vs. modular ports (vs. other modular ports), on later ISRs and/or ASR, for a similar reason, i.e. different port supporting hardware architectures under the covers.
