Step 4

udld port

Enables UDLD in normal mode on the interface.

Example:

Switch(config-if)# udld port

Step 5

channel-groupchannel-group-numbermode desirable Assigns the interface to a channel group, and specifies

 

 

desirable for the PAgP mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch(config-if)#channel-group 25 mode

 

 

desirable

 

Step 6

exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

Example:

Switch(config-if)# exit

Step 7

interface port-channel port-channel number

Enters port-channel interface mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch(config)# interface port-channel

 

 

port-channel 25

 

Step 8

shutdown

Shuts down the interface.
