EtherChannel Configuration
Link Aggregation Control Protocol
Configure the ports Fa0/1 and Fa0/2 as members of channel-group 1, using LACP unconditionally.
Port Modes: PAgP vs LACP
- PAgP -
desirable/auto
- LACP -
active/passive
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Assigned ports in the EtherChannel are not part of the same VLAN, or not configured as trunks. Ports with different native VLANs cannot form an EtherChannel.
- Trunking was configured on some of the ports that make up the EtherChannel, but not all of them. It is not recommended that you configure trunking mode on individual ports that make up the EtherChannel. When configuring a trunk on an EtherChannel, verify the trunking mode on the EtherChannel.
- If the allowed range of VLANs is not the same, the ports do not form an EtherChannel even when PAgP is set to the auto or desirable mode.
- The dynamic negotiation options for PAgP and LACP are not compatibly configured on both ends of the EtherChannel.
