Hello,
Does any one has a sample configuration of how to configure an etherchannel between a switch and a server?
I already checked the link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk389/tk213/technologies_configuration_example09186a008089a821.shtml
But I need some more detail information about how the port-channel interface configuration looks like.
Thanks.

Hi Adrian,
you just need the following config on the switch side:
switch#conf t
switch(config)#int Gi 1/0
switch(config-if)#switchport mode access
switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 100 //enter your server VLAN.
switch(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast
switch(config-if)#channel-group 1 mode active
switch(config)#int Gi 2/0
switch(config-if)#switchport mode access
switch(config-if)#switchport access vlan 100 //enter your server VLAN.
switch(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast
switch(config-if)#channel-group 1 mode active
switch(config-if)#exit
rest you need to configure on the server as per the link.
OR
else you can configure the following ( depending on the sw) on the port channel itself:
Switch(config)#int port-channel 2
Switch(config-if)#?
cdp Global CDP configuration subcommands
channel-group Etherchannel/port bundling configuration
channel-protocol Select the channel protocol (LACP, PAgP)
description Interface specific description
duplex Configure duplex operation.
exit Exit from interface configuration mode
mac-address Manually set interface MAC address
mdix Set Media Dependent Interface with Crossover
mls mls interface commands
no Negate a command or set its defaults
shutdown Shutdown the selected interface
spanning-tree Spanning Tree Subsystem
speed Configure speed operation.
storm-control storm configuration
switchport Set switching mode characteristics
tx-ring-limit Configure PA level transmit ring limit

Hi sandeep,
Thanks a lot for the information.
About the Port-channel interface, are there any command lines I need to add?

Hi Adrian,
As per the config example, you dont need to configure anything on the port channel.
The idea is , either configure under the port channel ( and the same config will be applied to the links in the channel-group)
OR
Configure under the physical interfaces directly
cheers,
sandeep
