Chapter 34 Configuring EtherChannels and Link-State Tracking Configuring EtherChannels
To remove the port-channel, use the no interface port-channel port-channel-number global
configuration command.
This example shows how to create the logical port channel 5 and assign 172.10.20.10 as its IP address:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface port-channel 5
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# ip address 172.10.20.10 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if)# end
Configuring the Physical Interfaces
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an Ethernet port to a Layer 3
EtherChannel. This procedure is required.
Step 7 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Step 8 Assign an Ethernet port to the Layer 3 EtherChannel. For
more information, see the “Configuring the Physical
Interfaces” section on page 34-15.
Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specify 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.
Note If the interface is a UNI, you must enter the port-type
{eni | nni} interface configuration command before
configuring PAgP or LACP.
Step 3 no shutdown Enable the port, if necessary. By default, UNIs and ENIs are
disabled, and NNIs are enabled.
Step 4 no ip address Ensure that there is no IP address assigned to the physical port.
Step 5 no switchport Put the port into Layer 3 mode.
