I need to add interfaces to a production port-channel. The problem is that I am at the 8 interface limit for the port-channel, and I have 6 interfaces assigned to the port-channel that were interfaces on blades that are no longer in the chassis. I don't want to have to delete the Port-channel as it is my VPC peer-link. is there anyway of removing these interfaces without deleting the port-channel interface or putting a card in those empty slots and then removing them?
