pagp learn-method
Note When the link partner to the Cisco ME switch is a physical learner, we recommend that you configure 
the switch as a physical-port learner. Use the pagp learn-method physical-port interface configuration 
command, and set the load-distribution method based on the source MAC address by using the 
port-channel load-balance src-mac global configuration command. Only use the pagp learn-method 
interface configuration command in this situation. 
Examples This example shows how to set the learning method to learn the address on the physical port within the 
EtherChannel:
Switch(config-if)# pagp learn-method physical-port
This example shows how to set the learning method to learn the address on the port-channel within the 
EtherChannel:
Switch(config-if)# pagp learn-method aggregation-port
You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command or the 
show pagp channel-group-number internal privileged EXEC command.
