Chapter 33 Configuring EtherChannels and Layer 2 Trunk Failover
This example shows how to configure an EtherChannel. It assigns two ports to channel 5 with the LACP
mode active:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 -2
Switch(config-if-range)# no ip address
Switch(config-if-range)# no switchport
Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode active
Switch(config-if-range)# end

dst-ip—Load distribution is based on the destination-host IP
•
address.
• dst-mac—Load distribution is based on the destination-host
MAC address of the incoming packet.
• src-dst-ip—Load distribution is based on the
source-and-destination host-IP address.
• src-dst-mac—Load distribution is based on the
source-and-destination host-MAC address.
• src-ip—Load distribution is based on the source-host IP
