Catalyst 2960 Switch Cisco IOS Commands
pagp port-priority
Use the pagp port-priority interface configuration command to select a port over which all Port
Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) traffic through the EtherChannel is sent. If all unused ports in the
EtherChannel are in hot-standby mode, they can be placed into operation if the currently selected port
and link fails. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

Usage Guidelines
The physical port with the highest priority that is operational and has membership in the same
EtherChannel is the one selected for PAgP transmission.
The Catalyst 2960 switch supports address learning only on aggregate ports even though the
Note
physical-port keyword is provided in the command-line interface (CLI). The pagp learn-method and
the pagp port-priority interface configuration commands have no effect on the switch hardware, but
they are required for PAgP interoperability with devices that only support address learning by physical
ports, such as the Catalyst 1900 switch.
When the link partner to the Catalyst 2960 switch is a physical learner, we recommend that you configure
the switch as a physical-port learner by using the pagp learn-method physical-port interface
configuration command and to set the load-distribution method based on the source MAC address by
using the port-channel load-balance src-mac global configuration command. Use the pagp
learn-method interface configuration command only in this situation.
Examples
This example shows how to set the port priority to 200:
Switch(config-if)# pagp port-priority 200
You can verify your setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command or the
show pagp channel-group-number internal privileged EXEC command.
