Port Channel Compatibility Requirements
To bundle multiple switch interfaces into a port channel, these interfaces must meet the compatibility requirements. For example, when you add an interface to a port channel, its speed must match with other member interfaces in this port channel. In other words, you cannot put a 1 G interface and a 10 G interface into the same port channel. Other interface attributes are checked by switch software to ensure that the interface is compatible with the channel group. In case of an incompatible attribute, port channel creation will fail. Some of these attributes are Speed, Duplex, Flow-control, Port mode, VLANs, ...
