EtherChannel Configuration

EtherChannel Configuration

           Switch(config)#  interface range fa0/1 – 4 {we can use the range or single interface}

Switch(config-if)#  channel-group [1 – 6] mode [auto | desirable | on | active | passive]

This port-channel can be customized via the CLI:

           Switch(config)# interface port-channel[1 – 6]

           Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk {an example only}

However if we wish to view the operation we use the term “etherchannel”.

            Switch# show interface etherchannel

            Switch# show etherchannel [summary | load balance | port-channel]
