The following areas are available on the Configuration tab of the EtherChannel Management window:
•
General
•
Layer 2
•
Layer 3
General
The General area provides the following information:
•
Interface Mode—The current operational mode of the interface. This field has the following values:
–
switchport—Layer 2.
–
routed—Layer 3.
•
Speed—The transmission speed in bits per second of the EtherChannel interface.
•
Delay—Specifies the delay in tens of microseconds for an interface or network segment.
Note
The Delay attribute is an informational parameter used only to communicate the current
bandwidth to the higher-level protocols (such as IGRP, EIGRP); you cannot adjust the actual
delay of an interface with this command. As such, this value is disabled in a pure CatOS
environment.
•
Bandwidth—Overwrites default bandwidth in kilobits per second.
Note
The Bandwidth attribute is an informational parameter used only to communicate the current
bandwidth to the higher-level protocols (such as IGRP, EIGRP and OSPF); you cannot adjust the
actual bandwidth of an interface with this command. As such, this value is disabled in a pure
CatOS environment.
•
Distribution Protocol—Protocol used for load balancing on the EtherChannel. This field has the
following values:
–
ip—IP address.
–
mac—MAC address.
•
Distribution Address—Address used for load balancing on the EtherChannel. This field has the
following values:
–
source
–
destination
–
both
Layer 2
The Layer 2 area contains the following information:
•
MTU—The size of the largest datagram (frame) which can be sent or received on the EtherChannel,
specified in octets. This is also the maximum size of Layer 3 datagrams sent on the EtherChannel.
