Etherchannel in switch multilayer packet tracer

YansetKiang

Hi experts this is my first post,

 

I´m practicing with SW multilayer in packet tracer, I´ve created a port-channel between 2 multilayer switches with the next commands

 

channel-group 1 mode desirable

but when i´m trying to assign an ip to this port channel with the command "no switchport" I can not do it and I´m getting this:

 

Switch(config)#int port-channel 1
Switch(config-if)#no switchport
% Incomplete command.

and also I get this message: 

 

Switch(config-if-range)#no switchport 
Command rejected (Port-channel): Either port is L2 and port-channel is L3, or vice-versa
Command rejected (Port-channel): Either port is L2 and port-channel is L3, or vice-versa

 

So my question is, how can I assign an ip address to a port channel in a multilayer switch in packet tracer? is it possible to do that in PT?

 

Thanks in advance may be I´m doing something wrong.

I just did this same setup in Packet Tracer 6.1.1 and it appears to work.

Default the configurations in each of your existing links, set the individual links as "no switchport" first, then place them into a port-channel, then enter into the port-channel interface and set the IP address.

interface Port-channel 1
  no switchport
  ip address 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.0

!

interface FastEthernet0/1

  no switchport

  channel-group 1 mode desirable

  no ip address

  duplex auto

  speed auto

!

interface FastEthernet0/2

  no switchport

  channel-group 1 mode desirable

  no ip address

  duplex auto

  speed auto

 

Hope that helps.
