    Hi,

     

    and welcome to the forums.

    You are correct in assuming that in order to use an aggregation port (LACP) you would need

    - to free up all (future) members

    - to recreate policies, DHCP server, NTP server, DNS server....

     

    This is simply because a physical port is an entity, and a (virtual) port is another one. Both  are not 'magically' converted into the other by command.

    So, if you want to avoid downtime, create a trunk port ('port-channel') right from the start, use it with just one member port. Later, you can add more ports without any interruption, even ports with different media (copper/fiber).
