Creating an EtherChannel on a Set/Clear Command−Based Switch

To create an EtherChannel bundle, you must enable EtherChannel on two or more ports. On a Set/Clear command−based switch, use the following Privileged mode command to enable EtherChannel:

set port channel <port list> mode <onoffdesirableauto>

The following output shows 2 as the module number and 1 through 4 as the port numbers:

catalyst5000> (enable) set port channel 2/1−4 ?

<admin_group>	Admin group
mode	Channel mode

catalyst5000> (enable) set port channel 2/1−4 mode ?

auto	Channel		auto mode
desirable	Channel desirable mode
off	Turn	off	Channelling
on	Turn	on Channelling
<cr>

catalyst5000> (enable) set port channel 2/1−4 mode auto Port(s) 2/1−4 channel mode set to auto. catalyst5000> (enable)

Table 10.8 explains the syntaxes available for the mode option. The mode on each port can be set to on, off, auto, or desirable.

Table 10.8: The four mode options for configuring an EtherChannel bundle on a switch.

EtherChannel Mode Option	Description
on	Enables the port to channel or bundle without any negotiation.
off	Disables the port from channeling or creating a bundle.
auto	Enables a port to negotiate the state in which the port will respond to PAgP
	packets it receives. The syntax does not, however, initiate PagP packet
	negotiation. This is the default setting.
desirable	Enables a port to actively negotiate creating a bundle with the port on the
	opposite side of the link by continuously sending PAgP packets.

Note	Using the auto and desirable modes allows the configured ports to automatically negotiate
	whether to form a channel. The channel ports can be in different modes, as long as the modes
	are compatible. For example, if a port is in desirable mode, the port can form a bundle with
