Configuring an EtherChannel Using LACP
Changing the Channel Mode
You can change the channel mode for a set of ports that were previously assigned the same administrative
key (see the “Specifying an Administrative Key Value” section on page 6-16).
To change the channel mode, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to change the channel mode for ports 4/1 and 4/6, setting it to on. The
administrative key for ports 4/1 and 4/6 is unchanged.
Console> (enable) set port lacp-channel 4/1,4/6 mode on
Port(s) 4/1,4/6 channel mode set to on.
Console> (enable)
Use the show lacp-channel group admin_key command to display the channel mode for ports.
Specifying the Channel Path Cost
You can specify the channel path cost by using a global command that configures both LACP and PAgP.
For more information, see the “Setting the EtherChannel Port Path Cost” section on page 6-9.
Specifying the Channel VLAN Cost
You can specify the channel VLAN cost by using a global command that configures both LACP and
PAgP. For more information, see the “Setting the EtherChannel VLAN Cost” section on page 6-9.
Configuring Channel Load Balancing
You can configure channel load balancing by using a global command that configures both LACP and
PAgP. For more information, see the “Configuring EtherChannel Load Balancing” section on page 6-11.
