How to Configure EtherChannels
Configuring the LACP Hot-Standby Ports
This task is optional.
3. pagp learn-method physical-port Selects the PAgP learning method.
By default, aggregation-port learning is selected, which means
the switch sends packets to the source by using any of the ports
in the EtherChannel. With aggregate-port learning, it is not
important on which physical port the packet arrives.
Select physical-port to connect with another switch that is a
physical learner. Make sure to configure the port-channel
load-balance global configuration command to src-mac as
described in the Configuring EtherChannel Load Balancing,
page 1038.
The learning method must be configured the same at both ends
of the link.
4. pagp port-priority priority Assigns a priority so that the selected port is chosen for packet
transmission.
For priority, the range is 0 to 255. The default is 128. The higher
the priority, the more likely that the port will be used for PAgP
transmission.
5. end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
