pagp learn-method
pagp learn-method
Use the
pagp learn-method
interface configuration command on the switch stack or on a standalone
switch to learn the source address of incoming packets received from an EtherChannel port. Use the
no
form of this command to return to the default setting.
pagp learn-method

no pagp learn-method
Syntax Description
Defaults
The default is aggregation-port (logical port channel).
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The learn method must be configured the same at both ends of the link.
Note
The switch supports address learning only on aggregate ports even though the
physical-port
keyword is
provided in the command-line interface (CLI). The
pagp learn-method
and the
pagp port-priority
interface configuration commands have no effect on the switch hardware, but they are required for PAgP
interoperability with devices that only support address learning by physical ports, such as the
Catalyst 1900 switch.
When the link partner to the switch is a physical learner, we recommend that you configure the switch
as a physical-port learner by using the
pagp learn-method physical-port
interface configuration
command and to set the load-distribution method based on the source MAC address by using the
port-channel load-balance src-mac
global configuration command. Use the
pagp learn-method
interface configuration command only in this situation.
aggregation-port
Specify address learning on the logical port-channel. The switch sends
packets to the source using any of the ports in the EtherChannel. This setting
is the default. With aggregate-port learning, it is not important on which
physical port the packet arrives.
physical-port
Specify address learning on the physical port within the EtherChannel. The
switch sends packets to the source using the same port in the EtherChannel
from which it learned the source address. The other end of the channel uses
the same port in the channel for a particular destination MAC or IP address.
