This required task explains how to configure a Layer 2 Ethernet port to a Layer 2 EtherChannel.
Command Purpose

Step 2 interface interface-id Specifies a physical port, and enter interface configuration mode.
Valid interfaces include physical ports.
For a PAgP EtherChannel, you can configure up to eight ports of
the same type and speed for the same group.
For a LACP EtherChannel, you can configure up to 16 Ethernet
ports of the same type. Up to eight ports can be active, and up to
eight ports can be in standby mode.
Step 3 switchport mode {access | trunk}
switchport access vlan vlan-id

configures them as trunks.
If you configure the port as a static-access port, assign it to only
one VLAN. The range is 1 to 4096.
