Hello there,
I've got a L3 etherchannel issue whereby I cannot add additional ports into the existing bundle (which currently has only 1 interface to it). When I attempt to add a 2nd interface, it is down within the port-channel. Here are the configs for both of the end devices:
sw 2
int gi1/0/49
no switchport
no ip address
channel-protocoal pagp
channel-group 1 mode desirable
int gi1/0/50
no switchport
no ip address
channel-protocol pagp
channel-group 1 mode desirable
int port-channel 1
no switchport
ip address xx.xx.xx.xx
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
sw1
int gi1/1/5
no switchport
no ip address
channel-protocol pagp
channel-group 144 mode desirable
int gi2/1/5
no switchport
no ip address
channel-protocol pagp
channel-group 144 mode desirable
int port-channel144
no switchport
ip address xx.xx.xx.xx
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
When I do a show etherchann summ, this is what is displayed:
on sw2
group 1 Po 1(RU) PAgP Gi1/0/49(P) Gi1/0/50(D)
on sw 1
group 144 Po 144 (RU) PAgP GI1/1/5(P) GI2/1/5(D)
I've googled around and everything I've found so far is for L2 etherchannel issues so looking at the trunks doesn't help me. What I've read so far is that with PAgP, adding additional interfaces should be a snap but it doesn't appear that way in my case.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Kiley,
It looks basic but did not see that checked above:
is the link Gi1/0/50 -- Gi2/1/5 coming up if you bringing that UP as individual one outside of port-channel?
Just want to eliminate any chances of physical link issues.

This is the most common issue seen.
Workaround: remove the port-channel and re-configure it to avoid much TS on this.

I was hoping to avoid that but we have an outage scheduled for this soon so I will do that...
Thanks!

I tried to bring up the interfaces outside the bundle as trunks but they did not come up. Gi1/0/50, when it was in the bundle, came up briefly but then was put into a suspended status and I got a message indicating the remote side was not configured (it had the configs I listed above). I will reverify the physical path between the two switches before I try to readd them to the bundle.
Thanks very much for all of your assistance!

Nik,
Yeah, there was a physical problem that knocked out the interface from the port-channel. We got the layer 1 problem corrected and put the port-channel back together again.
Thanks everyone for their responses - I greatly appreciate them!
