etherchannel and pruning

[sarahr202]

Hi everybody

Let say we have following network

Sw1 f0/1------trunk---f0/1-sw2-----rest of switched network.

       f0/2--blocked---f0/2

VTP pruning is enabled in the domain, as result sw2 is pruning vlan4 on f0/1 trunk.   We want to form etherchannel between sw1 and sw2  over ports f0/1 and f0/2( the blocked port).  Does pruning vlan 4 on sw2 affect the formation of etherchannel?

thanks

In short - no it does not.  Pruning is not directly linked to ether-channels.

No.. it should not.. but ensure that you have identical configuration on all  the interfaces which are participating in ether channel on all switches.
