o configure
o default vlan-id 20 – globally established VLAN 20 as the default VLAN
o interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/1
 no shutdown – configures the port as active.
 exit – exits interface configuration mode
o interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/49
 port-channel-protocol LACP – configures the port for LACP port-channel
 port-channel 5 mode active –sets the port-channel to 5 and sets mode to be active
 no shutdown – configures the port as active.
 exit – exit from interface configuration mode
o interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/50
 port-channel-protocol LACP – configures the port for LACP port-channel
 port-channel 5 mode active –sets the port-channel to 5 and sets mode to be active
 no shutdown – configures the port as active.
 exit – exit from interface configuration mode
o interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/51
 port-channel-protocol LACP – configures the port for LACP port-channel
 port-channel 5 mode active –sets the port-channel to 5 and sets mode to be active
 no shutdown – configures the port as active.
 exit – exit from interface configuration mode
o interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/52
 port-channel-protocol LACP – configures the port for LACP port-channel
 port-channel 5 mode active –sets the port-channel to 5 and sets mode to be active
 no shutdown – configures the port as active.
 exit – exit from interface configuration mode

 portmode hybrid - configuring portmode hybrid will allow for the native VLAN untagged,
and a tagged VLAN to exist on the port together. This is similar to switchport mode trunk in
industry standard CLI.
 Switchport - this configures the port as a layer 2 port.
 no shutdown
