|
|
|
sw01(config)# |
| interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1 | The single logical link provides |
|
|
| both reliability and higher capacity. |
|
|
| When possible, the two links of the |
|
|
| port channel should be on |
|
|
| different switches to provide |
|
|
| reliability in case a complete switch |
|
|
| goes down. In this reference |
|
|
| configuration, stacked switches are |
|
|
| used, so both ports are not on the |
|
|
| same switch. The manual |
|
|
| configuration of the port channel |
|
|
| is required when the interfaces are |
|
|
| on different switches. |
