Will removing 'Service-policy x' command break port-channel?

[tedauction]

Hello, I have 3 ports that are members of a Port-Channel.

Each member interface has the command 'service-policy output My-Policy'.

My question is, if I remove that command from each member interface directly, will that break the port-channel ?

Thank you.

interface Port-channel1
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
switch virtual link 1
end

interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/27
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
no lldp transmit
no lldp receive
no cdp enable
channel-group 1 mode on
service-policy output My-Policy*******Remove this
end

interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/28
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
no lldp transmit
no lldp receive
no cdp enable
channel-group 1 mode on
service-policy output My-Policy*******Then remove this
end

interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/29
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
no lldp transmit
no lldp receive
no cdp enable
channel-group 1 mode on
service-policy output My-Policy*******Then remove this
end

Hi,

No, That is just a qos policy applied to the interfaces and will no affect the Portchanell itself. So, you can remove that line.

Removing the service policy from each of the interface will not break the port-channel. the service policy is used for different process. so you are safe to do so; however, i would suggest to review that service policy about what is configured for and then remove it as you like.

As noted by others, removing the egress policy shouldn't break the port-channel, however, removing the policy might drop some "in-flight" frames/packets on that port.
