The PAgP channel protocol and the LACP channel protocol manage channels differently. When all the
ports in a channel get disabled, PAgP removes them from its internal channels list; show commands do
not display the channel. With LACP, when all the ports in a channel get disabled, LACP does not remove
the channel; show commands continue to display the channel even though all its ports are down. To
determine if a channel is actively sending and receiving traffic with LA CP, use the show port command
to see if the link is up or down.
LACP does not support half-duplex links. If a port is in active/passive mode and becomes half duplex,
the port is suspended (and a syslog message is generated). The port is shown as “connected” using the
show port command and as “not connected” using the show spantree command. This discre pancy is
because the port is physically connected but never joined spanning tree. To get the port to join spanning
tree, either set the duplex to full or set the channel mode to off for that port.
For more information about PAgP and LACP, refer to the “Configuring EtherChannel” chapter of the
Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide.
