Cisco Catalyst 8500-12X

[CSCO11864939]

Hello,

We would like create bundle interface like port-channel for the increase BW as 20 Gbps with two Ten Gig interfaces on the Cisco Catalyst 8500-12X router. Is it possible to do this? If possible, how can we do it?

Thanks a lot.

As per the documenation have not seen any comnfiguration guide :

as per feature navigator it does support DNA-Advantage.

Hello,

I already checked feature navigator so it is telling to Catalyst 8500 platform is supported to Lacp with IOS XE version17.3.2 but neither cisco.com/support nor other cisco sources doesn't included any configuration guide for the IOS XE 17.3.2.

Thanks,
