Chapter 2 Catalyst 3750 Switch Cisco IOS Commands
channel-group
Do not configure an EtherChannel in both the PAgP and LACP modes. EtherChannel groups running
PAgP and LACP can coexist on the same switch or on different switches in the stack (but not in a
cross-stack configuration). Individual EtherChannel groups can run either PAgP or LACP, but they
cannot interoperate.
If you set the protocol by using the channel-protocol interface configuration command, the setting is
not overridden by the channel-group interface configuration command.
Do not configure a port that is an active or a not-yet-active member of an EtherChannel as an
IEEE 802.1x port. If you try to enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on an EtherChannel port, an error
message appears, and IEEE 802.1x authentication is not enabled.
Do not configure a secure port as part of an EtherChannel or an EtherChannel port as a secure port.
For a complete list of configuration guidelines, see the "Configuring EtherChannels" chapter in the
software configuration guide for this release.
Caution 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.
Examples This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel on a single switch in the stack. It assigns two
static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5 with the PAgP mode desirable:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet2/0/1 -2
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode desirable
Switch(config-if-range)# end
