11. Aggregate the two physical links between the two Cisco switches in the stack into a single logical link, as follows:

At this prompt...

 

Enter...

Notes

 

 

 

 

sw01(config)#

 

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1

The single logical link provides

 

 

 

both reliability and higher capacity.

 

 

 

When possible, the two links of the

 

 

 

port channel should be on

 

 

 

different switches to provide

 

 

 

reliability in case a complete switch

 

 

 

goes down. In this reference

 

 

 

configuration, stacked switches are

 

 

 

used, so both ports are not on the

 

 

 

same switch. The manual

 

 

 

configuration of the port channel

 

 

 

is required when the interfaces are

 

 

 

on different switches.

 

 

 

 

sw01(config-if)#

 

channel-group 1 mode on

Displays the following output:

 

 

Creating a port-channel interface Port-

channel 1

Enter...

sw01(config-if)#

 

exit

 

sw01(config-if)#

 

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1

 

sw01(config-if)#

 

channel-group 1 mode on

 

sw01(config-if)#

 

exit

 

 

12. Set the interface connection to the router, as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

At this prompt...

 

Enter...

Notes

 

 

 

 

sw01(config)#

 

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2

This connection is set to access

 

 

 

mode because no VLAN traffic

 

 

 

should be sent over it.

 

 

 

 

sw01(config)#

 

switchport mode access

 

sw01(config-if)#

 

exit
