Usage Guidelines

Use the channel-protocol command only to restrict a channel to LACP or PAgP. If you set the protocol

by using the channel-protocol command, the setting is not overridden by the channel-group interface

configuration command.

You must use the channel-group interface configuration command to configure the EtherChannel

parameters. The channel-group command also can set the mode for the EtherChannel.

You cannot enable both the PAgP and LACP modes on an EtherChannel group.

PAgP and LACP are not compatible; both ends of a channel must use the same protocol.

This example shows how to specify LACP as the protocol that manages the EtherChannel:

Switch(config-if)# channel-protocol lacp

You can verify your settings by entering the show etherchannel [channel-group-number] protocol

privileged EXEC command.

channel-protocol {lacp | pagp}

no channel-protocol

Configure an EtherChannel with the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).

Configure an EtherChannel with the Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP).
