3)   Log into old MDS switch A / B side

     config t
     interface port-channel 11
     np interface po 11

       Configure port-channel on New MDS switches
     
        config t
        interface fc1/1
        switchport description
        port-license acquire
        channel-group <> force
        no shutdown

        repeat the config on remaining ports

         Interface port-channel<>
         Channel mode active
         switchport mode F
         switchport description <>
         switchport rate-mode dedicated
 
        Add ports to portchannel

        config t
