EC-5-L3DONTBNDL1: [chars] suspended: PAgP not enabled on the remote port.

Explanation This message means that Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) is enabled on a Layer 3 interface, but the remote port does not have PAgP enabled. In this mode, the port is put in a suspended state.

Response Enable PAgP on the remote port.

EC-5-L3DONTBNDL2: [chars] suspended: incompatible partner port with [chars].

Explanation This message means that the group capabilities of the remote port are different than one or more of the other ports in the bundle. For a port to join a bundle, the local port and the remote port must have the same group capabilities as the other ports in the bundle.

Response Configure the remote port with the same group capabilities as the other ports in the bundle.

EC-5-L3DONTBNDL3: [chars] suspended: LACP not enabled on the remote port.

Explanation This message means that Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is enabled on a Layer 3 interface, but the remote port does not have LACP enabled. In this mode, the local port is put in a suspended state.

Response Enable LACP on the remote port.

EC-5-L3PORTDOWN: Shutting down [chars] as its port-channel is admin-down

Explanation This message means that a Layer 3 port is being forced to shut down because its aggregation port is in a down state. [chars] is the interface name.

Response Bring up the aggregation port by using the no shutdown interface configuration command.

EC-5-L3STAYDOWN: [chars] will remain down as its port-channel [chars] is admin-down

Explanation This message means that a Layer 3 port is being forced to shut down because its aggregation port is in a down state. [chars] is the interface name.

Response Bring up the aggregation port by using the no shutdown interface configuration command.

EC-5-NOLACP: Invalid EC mode. LACP not enabled.

Explanation This message means that LACP is not included in the image on your switch. An EtherChannel cannot be set into any LACP mode.

Response Upgrade your switch with an image that supports LACP.
