Etherchannel port configured with both access and trunk commands

NInja Black

Hi,

 

 The following is the partial config for etherchannel on our 4500 switch.

interface Port-channel3
 description XXNAMExx
 switchport
 switchport access vlan 40
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 40
 switchport mode trunk
!

 

 As the switchport mode is trunk I am guessing the " switchport access vlan 40" is irrelevant.

Can that access command be deleted?

Hello

Yes it can, once its removed it will also be removed for the physical interfaces relating to the port-channel.

 It looks like this port-channel was configured first then either applied as a trunk or access port, .then changed again

Its not the correct way of creating a etherchannel, which would  be setting up the physical interfaces first to whatever mode you wish them to be then add them to a port-channel - which will then be created automatically.

As Paul says you can probably remove it.

However the trunk is configured to only allow vlan 40 across so it could just as easily be configured as an access port in vlan 40 ie. they achieve the same thing in effect.
