Chapter 5 Configuring Ethernet VLAN Trunks
Example VLAN Trunk Configurations
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 3
Configure the ports on Switch A to negotiate an EtherChannel bundle with the neighboring switch by
entering the
set port channel
command. 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.
Switch_A> (enable)
set port channel 2/3-6 desirable
Port(s) 2/3-6 channel mode set to desirable.

Step 4
After the EtherChannel bundle is negotiated, verify the configuration by entering the
show port channel
command.
