It seems that the c3560 in PT shows the portchannel-interface but the c2960 does not:

c3560# show interfaces

(...)

Port-channel 1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)

  Hardware is Lance, address is 0001.9681.e02c (bia 0001.9681.e02c)

(...)

Are these two the mac address of the port-channel interfaces ? If yes, then how can i see that ?

Chandu,

you can try 'show interfaces Po1', the second line of the output should show the MAC address.

If PT supports it, you can also try 'show interfaces | include line pro|bia' to see all interfaces MAC addresses.

Hi Rolf,

It seems like PT is not supported to show interfaces po 1 and also the show interfaces command didn't show up the portchannel interface.. it just showed all the physical interfaces & Vlan interface.

So i think this is one more of the limitiation of PT.

And so finally, to conclude those MAC where of portchannels only right ?

Thanks for you help.

Chandu
