Good morning , SW 2960 24 TC-L , we would use dual purpose ports one of them is RJ45 and another SFP according to the manual, the ethertchannel is for getting a fault tolerance if any port fail :
the next configuration is for one of the SW another switch would have the same configuration:
SW0(config)#int range gigabitethernet 0/25 - 26
SW0(config-if-range)#shut ctrlz
SW0(config)#int gigabitethernet 0/25
SW0(config)#media type rj45 ctrlz
SW0(config)#int gigabitethernet 26
SW0(config)#media type sfp ctrlz
SW0(config)#int range gigabitethernet 0/25 - 26
SW0(config-if-range)# speed 100
SW0(config-if-range)# duplex full
SW0(config-if-range)# channel-group-1 mode on , ctrlz
to verify the configuration
SW0#sh run , to see the configuration also
SW0#sh ip int breaf , to see the port channel
SW0#sh spanning-tree
SW0#sh etherchannel detail , to see the port channel detail
Thanks for your support
Best Regards

Not sure of your questions, but if it is regarding the media type comapatibility in Port-channel,
i think it should work...though i have not tested it.

Hi Madhukrishnan , I have verified the switch again , but it has 2 dual port purposes ( please see the attachment) I remembered that it had only two ports one RJ45 and another SFP , but it has 2 RJ45 ports and 2 SFP if so , could use two SFP ports to connect to another switch 2960 24 TC-L and if for any reason one link fail another link goes up automatic and fast , in this case we would not need the etherchannel and could it be a fault tolerance for achieving fault tolerance arrangement , I mean , as usually so we have two links , spanning tree protocol would block one path while another path is up and running , just in case one path fail another path transmit the information but we need it would be fast , could RSTP do it as faster as etherchannel , which of them could be the most reliable arrangement to achieve the fault tolerance according to your opinion.? because if RSTP do it as faster as etherchannel then we buy two SFP for each pair of switches and it would be the solutions
The IOS version is 12.2 < 55 > SE5 Release fc1
