•

EtherChannel — Displays the EtherChannel ID number.

•

Description — Displays the user-defined port name.

•

EtherChannel Type — Indicates he port types that comprise the EtherChannel.

•

Admin Status — Enables or disables traffic forwarding through the selected
EtherChannel.

•

Current EtherChannel Status — Indicates if the EtherChannel is currently
operating.

•

Reactivate Suspended EtherChannel — Reactivates a port if the EtherChannel
has been disabled through the locked port security option or through Access
Control List configurations.

•

Operational Status — Indicates whether the EtherChannel is currently
operational or non-operational.

•

Admin Auto Negotiation — Enables or disables Auto Negotiation on the
EtherChannel. Auto-negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that
enables a EtherChannel to advertise its transmission rate, and flow control (the
flow control default is disabled) abilities to its partner.

•

Current Auto Negotiation — Displays the current Auto Negotiation setting.

•

Admin Advertisement — Specifies the capabilities to be advertised by the
EtherChannel. The possible field values are:

-

Max Capability

— Indicates that all EtherChannel speeds and Duplex

mode settings can be accepted.

-

10 Half

— Indicates that the EtherChannel is advertising a 10 Mbps

speed and half Duplex mode setting.

-

10 Full

— Indicates that the EtherChannel is advertising a 10 Mbps

speed and full Duplex mode setting.

-

100 Half

— Indicates that the EtherChannel is advertising a 100 Mbps

speed and half Duplex mode setting.

-

100 Full

— Indicates that the EtherChannel is advertising a 100 Mbps

speed and full Duplex mode setting.

-

1000 Full

— Indicates that the EtherChannel is advertising a 1000 Mbps

speed and full Duplex mode setting.

•
