I recently was setting up a port channel on a Cisco 9300 and with my first config the ports were suspended. Here's what I had.
Port Channel config
interface Port-channel1
description DC-ExpInet
switchport access vlan 2
switchport mode access
Ports config
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/2
description Exp Inet 1
channel-group 1 mode active
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet3/1/2
description Exp Inet 2
channel-group 1 mode active
!
As mentioned this didn't work. I had to define everything from the port channel on each port and then they connected. I thought I just had to define the commands in the po1 and the ports would inherit the po1 settings.
Here's my final config that is working...
Port Channel
interface Port-channel1
description DC-ExpInet
switchport access vlan 2
switchport mode access
!
Ports.
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1/2
description Exp Inet 1
switchport access vlan 2
switchport mode access
channel-group 1 mode active
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet3/1/2
description Exp Inet 2
switchport access vlan 2
switchport mode access
channel-group 1 mode active
Thanks in advance

Need to config port member identical to PO' otherwise it will not work.
Note:- only channel-group <> mode <> is use only in port member

So because I had a "description" it made it fail?

No, the steps should be the following
conf t
interface range Ten 1/1/2, Ten 3/1/3
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 2
channel-group 1 mode active
spanning-tree portfast enable
And that's it.

Not because description but because you dont specify port mode and vlan allow in port.
