Hi,

>So are the port-channel ints dropping line protocol, or the gig-E ints themselves?
GigE interfaces themselves.

>If the gig-E ints, are you saying the non-channeled ints stay up, but the channeled ones drop?
Exactly. Physical GigE interfaces dropped line-protocol, but only
those physical GigE interfaces, which had LACP enabled and were part
of a port-channel.
