Uneven number of interfaces on an etherchannel?

[sonikbaby]

Just a quick question, is ok to have 3 interfaces on an etherchannel set to LACP.

Thanks.

Hello, yes its OK to do this. The maximum you can have is up to 8 that are 'active'

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is part  of an IEEE specification (802.3ad) that allows you to bundle several  physical ports together to form a single logical channel. LACP allows a  switch to negotiate an automatic bundle by sending LACP packets to the  peer. It performs a similar function as Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP)  with Cisco EtherChannel.
