Simple Etherchannel Question?

CiscoBro
Level 1
Level 1

So i have two cisco switch that needs to be connected via etherchannel

Fastethernet 0/0 and 0/1 are to be used to form  etherchannel on both switches.

The etherchannel will be a trunk and carry vlan 90,91,92.

Question:

Do i have to configure each switchports as below

interface fastethernet 0/0

switchport trunk encap dot1q

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan 91,92,93

channel-protocol lacp

channel-group 1 mode active

no shut

OR OR can i do it this way as well

interface fastethernet 0/0

channel-protocol lacp

channel-group 1 mode active

!

interface port-channel 1

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan 91,92,93

no shut

!

DOES these two methods achieve the same results.

How is it recommended?

If switchport trunk allowed vlan is applied on ether channel, is it automatically inherited by all bundled physical ports? If yes, why does it not show up on running config for physical interfaces?

Thank you for looking...

1. Actually i was asking for ccnp switch exam.  it is a simulation, could you explain what kind of switch takes what kind of config

If this is for a Cisco Certification exam then you need follow the exact method and steps found in the book.  Any other answers, no matter how correct and applicable they are "out there", is deemed an incorrect answer.

1.  Depends on the model of the switch and the IOS level. 

2.  Are you ADDING an interface to the EtherChannel or are you creating a new one?
