Switch_B> (enable)
Step 4
Confirm the channeling and trunking status of the switches by entering the show port channel and show
trunk commands.
Switch_A> (enable) show port channel
No ports channelling
Switch_A> (enable) show trunk
No ports trunking.
Switch_A> (enable)
Switch_B> (enable) show port channel
No ports channelling
Switch_B> (enable) show trunk
No ports trunking.
Switch_B> (enable)
Step 5
Configure the ports on Switch A to negotiate a Gigabit EtherChannel bundle with the neighboring
switch. This example assumes that the neighboring ports on Switch B are in EtherChannel auto mode.
The system logging messages provide information about the formation of the EtherChannel bundle.
