Cisco Catalyst 3650 - Using the Help System

Do not enable Layer 3 addresses on the physical EtherChannel ports. 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 switch in the stack. It assigns two
static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the PAgP mode desirable:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet2/0/1 -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
Switch(config-if-range)# end
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel on a single switch in the stack. It assigns two
static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the LACP mode active:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet2/0/1 -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
This example shows how to configure a cross-stack EtherChannel in a switch 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:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet2/0/4 -5
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode passive
Switch(config-if-range)# exit
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet3/0/3
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode passive
Switch(config-if)# exit
You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
