L3 Etherchannel Routing Issue

[GregH.NY]

Hello. I have a lab where I created an L3 Etherchannel setup.

I am using two 3560 switches.

I was able to successfully configure the L3 Etherchannel but I can not ping the other switch.

I assume that I need to setup routing but have no routers. If so any suggestions how to set it up on the switches?

SW1

int vlan 1

ip add 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0

no shut

int port-channel10

ip add 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.252

int range gig 0/45 - 48

no switchport

channel-group 10 mode on

SW2

int vlan 1

ip add 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0

no shut

int port-channel10

ip add 10.0.1.2 255.255.255.252

int range gig 0/45 - 48

no switchport

channel-group 10 mode on

Any help is greatly appreciated

"If my thinking is correct it would not make sense using L3 Etherchannel connections switch to switch because I would have to create additional networks, routes etc just to get the advantage of increased bandwidth of L3 Eth. Servers can be on a different network anyway so the example makes sense."

Switch to switch Etherchannel can still make sense, whether L2 or L3. It just depends on whether you can distribute multiple flows across your links and whether you would benefit from the additional bandwidth capacity. (Also, don't forget, Etherchannel can also provide redundancy.)

Your VLAN 1, on both switches, is in the same network. You need to fix that.
