If the Guide lines met and they are same speed as per the guide lines

 

simple go to  new port ( add the same config as working interface, bot the side)

 

shutdown physical interface both side, do not connect any cable.

 

int x/x

channel-group 1 mode auto OR active

!

 

Once both the side configured as per the config, connect the Pysical cable and ssue bot the side physical interface no shutdown

 

and check show etherchannel 1 summary to verify.

Hi there,

As you have it: go to the desired switch port and issue the relevant channel-group command, ensuring that the configuration of the switchport matches the port-channel it is being added and also that you have not exceed the platform limit for port-channel members.

 

cheers,

Seb.

i can set the port channel to on rather than auto, would that make a difference?

You can set to ON, But the Port-channel go down and up, that is service interuption,  (how about other side switch ?)

 

If you doing cisco to cisco you ok, if you doing Cisco with other vendor, you need to follow other vendor guidelines too.

 

here is guide lines if you doing on SG Switches.

sorry, im connecting a SG300 to a nexus 7000, in that case can i leave it set to auto, as you said its two ciscos

 

channel-group 1 mode auto

channel-group 1 mode on

on the 7000 side its set to active

If you terminate it from Nexus side on 2 Nexus switches, you need to create VPC for the PortChannel.

If you terminate it on single Nexus switch, then from the SG300 side you can leave it Auto while it is Active on Nexus.

Is the 7K in vPC or standalone (if that vPC with Dual chasis) - i take advantage of vPC, if that standalong. i use Auto standard port-channel. (since other side is active on Nexus 7L side)

 

Example config of vPC connecting to SG300 Switchs (this need to configure both nexus if they are vPC)

 

interface Ethernet1/1

  channel-group 20  < - this can change what ever number

interface port-channel20

  vpc 20
