Configuring EtherChannels
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel. It assigns two ports as static-access ports in
VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the PAgP mode desirable:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode desirable non-silent
Switch(config-if-range)# end
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel. It assigns two ports as static-access ports in
VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the LACP mode active:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode active
Switch(config-if-range)# end
Configuring Layer 3 EtherChannels
To configure Layer 3 EtherChannels, you create the port-channel logical interface and then put the
Ethernet ports into the port-channel as described in the next two sections.
Creating Port-Channel Logical Interfaces
When configuring Layer 3 EtherChannels, you should first manually create the port-channel logical
interface by using the interface port-channel global configuration command. Then you put the logical
interface into the channel group by using the channel-group interface configuration command.
Note To move an IP address from a physical port to an EtherChannel, you must delete the IP address from the
physical port before configuring it on the port-channel interface.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create a port-channel interface for a Layer 3
EtherChannel. This procedure is required.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface port-channel port-channel-number Specify the port-channel logical interface, and enter interface
configuration mode.
For port-channel-number, the range is 1 to 26.
Step 3
ip address ip-address mask Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the EtherChannel.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show etherchannel channel-group-number detail Verify your entries.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Step 7
Assign an Ethernet port to the Layer 3 EtherChannel. For
more information, see the “Configuring the Physical
Interfaces” section on page 28-13.
