Do not enable Layer 3 addresses on the physical EtherChannel ports. Do not assign bridge groups on the
physical EtherChannel ports because it creates loops.
Caution
Examples
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel on a single controller in the stack. It assigns two
static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the PAgP mode desirable:
Controller#
configure terminal
Controller(config)#
interface range gigabitethernet2/0/1 -2
Controller(config-if-range)#
switchport mode access
Controller(config-if-range)#
switchport access vlan 10
Controller(config-if-range)#
channel-group 5 mode desirable
Controller(config-if-range)#
end
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel on a single controller in the stack. It assigns two
static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the LACP mode active:
Controller#
configure terminal
Controller(config)#
interface range gigabitethernet2/0/1 -2
Controller(config-if-range)#
switchport mode access
Controller(config-if-range)#
switchport access vlan 10
Controller(config-if-range)#
channel-group 5 mode active
Controller(config-if-range)#
end
This example shows how to configure a cross-stack EtherChannel in a controller stack. It uses LACP passive
mode and assigns two ports on stack member 2 and one port on stack member 3 as static-access ports in VLAN
10 to channel 5:
Controller#
configure terminal
Controller(config)#
interface range gigabitethernet2/0/4 -5
Controller(config-if-range)#
switchport mode access
Controller(config-if-range)#
switchport access vlan 10
Controller(config-if-range)#
channel-group 5 mode passive
Controller(config-if-range)#
exit
Controller(config)#
interface gigabitethernet3/0/3
Controller(config-if)#
switchport mode access
Controller(config-if)#
switchport access vlan 10
Controller(config-if)#
channel-group 5 mode passive
Controller(config-if)#
exit
You can verify your settings by entering the
show running-config
privileged EXEC command.
