Step 5 Configure one of the ports in the EtherChannel bundle to negotiate an 802.1Q trunk by entering the set
trunk command. The configuration is applied to all of the ports in the bundle. This example assumes
that the neighboring ports on Switch B are configured to use dot1q or negotiate encapsulation and are
in auto trunk mode. The system logging messages provide information about the formation of the
802.1Q trunk.
Switch_A> (enable) set trunk 2/3 desirable dot1q
Port(s) 2/3-6 trunk mode set to desirable.
Port(s) 2/3-6 trunk type set to dot1q.
