If you set the protocol by using the channel-protocol interface configuration command, the setting is not
overridden by the channel-group interface configuration command.
Do not configure a port that is an active or a not-yet-active member of an EtherChannel as an IEEE 802.1x
port. If you try to enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on an EtherChannel port, an error message appears, and
IEEE 802.1x authentication is not enabled.
Do not configure a secure port as part of an EtherChannel or configure an EtherChannel port as a secure port.
For a complete list of configuration guidelines, see the “Configuring EtherChannels” chapter in the software
configuration guide for this release.
Do not assign bridge groups on the physical EtherChannel ports because it creates loops.Caution
Examples
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel on a single device in the stack. It assigns two
static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the PAgP mode desirable:
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# interface range GigabitEthernet 2/0/1 - 2
Device(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Device(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Device(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode desirable
Device(config-if-range)# end
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel on a single device in the stack. It assigns two
static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the LACP mode active:
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# interface range GigabitEthernet 2/0/1 - 2
Device(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Device(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Device(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode active
Device(config-if-range)# end
This example shows how to configure a cross-stack EtherChannel in a device stack. It uses LACP passive
mode and assigns two ports on stack member 2 and one port on stack member 3 as static-access ports in VLAN
10 to channel 5:
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# interface range GigabitEthernet 2/0/4 - 5
Device(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Device(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Device(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode passive
Device(config-if-range)# exit
Device(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 3/0/3
Device(config-if)# switchport mode access
Device(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10
Device(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode passive
Device(config-if)# exit
You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
