Chapter 37 Configuring EtherChannels and Link-State Tracking

Configuring EtherChannels

	Command	Purpose
Step 5
	channel-groupchannel-group-number mode	Assign the port to a channel group, and specify the PAgP or the
	{auto [non-silent] desirable [non-silent] on}	LACP mode.
	{active passive}	For channel-group-number, the range is 1 to 48. This number
		must be the same as the port-channel-number(logical port)
		configured in the “Creating Port-Channel Logical Interfaces”
		section on page 37-15.
		For mode, select one of these keywords:
		• auto—Enables PAgP only if a PAgP device is detected. It
		places the port into a passive negotiating state, in which the
		port responds to PAgP packets it receives but does not start
		PAgP packet negotiation. This keyword is not supported
		when EtherChannel members are from different switches in
		the switch stack.
		• desirable—Unconditionally enables PAgP. It places the port
		into an active negotiating state, in which the port starts
		negotiations with other ports by sending PAgP packets. This
		keyword is not supported when EtherChannel members are
		from different switches in the switch stack.
		• on—Forces the port to channel without PAgP or LACP. In
		the on mode, an EtherChannel exists only when a port group
		in the on mode is connected to another port group in the on
		mode.
		• non-silent—(Optional) If your switch is connected to a
		partner that is PAgP capable, configure the switch port for
		nonsilent operation when the port is in the auto or desirable
		mode. If you do not specify non-silent, silent is assumed.
		The silent setting is for connections to file servers or packet
		analyzers. This setting allows PAgP to operate, to attach the
		port to a channel group, and to use the port for transmission.
		• active—Enables LACP only if a LACP device is detected. It
		places the port into an active negotiating state in which the
		port starts negotiations with other ports by sending LACP
		packets.
		• passive—Enables LACP on the port and places it into a
		passive negotiating state in which the port responds to LACP
		packets that it receives, but does not start LACP packet
		negotiation.
		For information on compatible modes for the switch and its
		partner, see the “PAgP Modes” section on page 37-6and the
		“LACP Modes” section on page 37-7.
