DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters the global configuration mode.configure terminal
Example:
Switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Specifies a physical port, and enters interface configuration mode.
interface interface-id
Step 2
Example:
Switch(config)# interface
Valid interfaces are physical ports.
For a PAgP EtherChannel, you can configure up to eight ports of the same type and
speed for the same group.
gigabitethernet2/0/1
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.
Assigns all ports as static-access ports in the same VLAN, or configure them as
trunks.
switchport mode {access | trunk}
Example:
Switch(config-if)# switchport
Step 3
If you configure the port as a static-access port, assign it to only one VLAN. The
range is 1 to 4094.
mode access
(Optional) If you configure the port as a static-access port, assign it to only one
VLAN. The range is 1 to 4094.
switchport access vlan vlan-id
Example:
Switch(config-if)# switchport
Step 4
access vlan 22
Assigns the port to a channel group, and specifies the PAgP or the LACP mode.channel-group
channel-group-number mode {auto
Step 5
For channel-group-number, the range is 1 to 24.
[non-silent] | desirable [non-silent
] | on } | { active | passive}
For mode, select one of these keywords:
Example:
Switch(config-if)#
• auto —Enables PAgP only if a PAgP device is detected. It places the port into
a passive negotiating state, in which the port responds to PAgP packets it
receives but does not start PAgP packet negotiation.This keyword is not
