Command History
Usage Guidelines
The first EtherChannel interface configured becomes the bundle master for all EtherChannel interfaces
in the group. That is, the MAC address of the first EtherChannel interface is the MAC address for all
EtherChannel interfaces in the group. If the first EtherChannel interface is later removed, the second
EtherChannel interface to be configured becomes the bundled master by default.
Repeat this configuration on every EtherChannel port to be bundled into a FastEtherChannel (FEC) or
GigabitEtherChannel (GEC) group. This configuration must be present on all EtherChannel interfaces
before the EtherChannel group can be configured.
Examples
The following example configures the port to have an EtherChannel port number of 1 within its
EtherChannel group. The EtherChannel group is defined with the channel-group command.
Router(config)#
interface port-channel 1
