Hello, I have a Cisco C8200-1N-4T router with a network-advantage license, connected to a Cisco 9200 switch through a Port Channel, both with channel-group mode active, this works correctly for me, the port channel raises correctly and I see no problems In the net.
The problem is that when I restart the C8200, I lose the configuration on the ports that make up the port channel, going from this configuration:
channel-group 1 mode active
to:
channel-group 1
So the port does not lift correctly, linking in orange. This is the port configuration for the cisco C8200:
interface Port-channel1
no ip address
negotiation auto
!
interface Port-channel1.189
encapsulation dot1Q 189
ip address 10.25.88.40 255.255.255.0
!
interface Port-channel1.197
encapsulation dot1Q 197
ip address 10.20.197.9 255.255.255.224
ip ospf 1 area 10
redundancy rii 1
redundancy group 1 ip 10.20.197.10 exclusive
!
interface Port-channel1.198
encapsulation dot1Q 198
ip address 10.20.197.39 255.255.255.224
!
interface Port-channel1.996
encapsulation dot1Q 996
ip address 10.20.250.206 255.255.255.252
ip ospf network point-to-point
ip ospf 1 area 10
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
no ip address
speed 1000
no negotiation auto
channel-group 1
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1
no ip address
speed 1000
no negotiation auto
channel-group 1
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/2
no ip address
shutdown
negotiation auto
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/3
no ip address
shutdown
negotiation auto
Does anyone know the reason why the Port Channel is deconfigured? I have checked the Startup-Config and the configuration is correct, but when it starts the command changes.
Regards, and thank you very much.

Hello @MHM Cisco World ,
I have not yet been able to get the command because I do not have a direct connection to the equipment, I am going to check the LACP.
I understand that the default command should not be "channel-group 1 mode active", since when you configure it, in the running config and in the startup-config (once the configuration is saved) the complete command appears:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
no ip address
speed 1000
no auto negotiation
channel-group 1 mode active
But it is when restarting that it changes, leaving the config like this:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
no ip address
speed 1000
no auto negotiation
channel-group 1
And also after the reboot, the port is out of service, and does not wake up until it is configured again as active mode.

Yes that will shown by
show port-channel summary or show etherchannel summary
if you see protocol is ON then the config is remove
if you see protocol is LACP then the config is default and not show

Hello again, thank you very much for the quick response.
As soon as I have access to the equipment I will check it and tell you what I see.
Again thank you very much for your time.
