Configuring Layer 2 EtherChannels (Port-Channel Logical Interfaces)
To configure Layer 2 EtherChannels, configure the Ethernet interfaces with the channel-group
command, which creates the port-channel logical interface.
Note
Cisco IOS software creates port-channel interfaces for Layer 2 EtherChannels when you configure
Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces with the channel-group command. You cannot put Layer 2 Ethernet
interfaces into a manually created port-channel interface.
Note
Layer 2 interfaces must be connected and functioning for Cisco IOS software to create port-channel
interfaces for Layer 2 EtherChannels.
To configure Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces as a Layer 2 EtherChannel, use the following commands
beginning in global configuration mode for each interface:
Command
Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)#
interface fastethernet
slot
/
port
Selects a physical interface to configure.
Step 2
Router(config-if)#
channel
-
group
port-channel-number
mode
{
on
}
Configures the interface in a port-channel.
Step 3
Router(config-if)#
end
Exits configuration mode.
