Configuring Layer 2 EtherChannels
To configure Layer 2 EtherChannels, configure the Ethernet interfaces with the channel-group
command. This 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.
