Fig 10-2 Configure Port Channel in LACP
The switches in the description below are all switch and as shown in the figure, ports
1, 2, 3, 4 of S1 are access ports and add them to group1 with active mode. Ports 6, 8, 9,
10 of S2 are access ports and add them to group2 with passive mode. All the ports should
be connected with cables.
The configuration steps are listed below:
Switch1#config
Switch1(config)#interface ethernet 1/0/1-4
Switch1(Config-If-Port-Range)#port-group 1 mode active
Switch1(Config-If-Port-Range)#exit
Switch1(config)#interface port-channel 1
Switch1(Config-If-Port-Channel1)#
Switch2#config
Switch2(config)#port-group 2
Switch2(config)#interface ethernet 1/0/6
Switch2(Config-If-Ethernet1/0/6)#port-group 2 mode passive
Switch2(Config-If-Ethernet1/0/6)#exit
Switch2(config)#interface ethernet 1/0/8-10
Switch2(Config-If-Port-Range)#port-group 2 mode passive
Switch2(Config-If-Port-Range)#exit
Switch2(config)#interface port-channel 2
Switch2(Config-If-Port-Channel2)#
Configuration result:
