Chapter 6 Configuring Port Channels
Configuring Port Channels
This example shows how to enable LACP:
switch# configure terminal
switch (config)# feature lacp
Configuring LACP Port-Channel Port Modes
After you enable LACP, you can configure the channel mode for each individual link in the LACP port
channel as active or passive. This channel configuration mode allows the link to operate with LACP.
When you configure port channels with no associated aggregation protocol, all interfaces on both sides
of the link remain in the on channel mode.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
