What the hell is wrong with my EtherChannels?

Here's the issue. No matter what I try, I cannot seem to get Po1 and Po2 out of the SD state. Please help.

IF it is in "suspended" state, then the switch logs would provide the answers.

Okay. I'm using Packet Tracer. Can I find the switch logs from the CLI of the switch? If so, what commands should I use?

Hello,

post your zipped Packet Tracer project (.pkt) file here. PT has a lot of quirks that might not occur on 'real' switches, you might be running into one of those...

Here it is. The switches that I usually work on are Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series, and I use SSH to configure them remotely as my university's campus is currently closed. However, whoever used the switches before me did a LOT of configurations on these switches and as such, I was unable to erase the NVRAM file system, despite using every command that I know to do so. As such, I recreated the topology in Packet Tracer. I wasn't aware that there were differences between the two - I really only use SSH, because it's easier to open a PuTTY window than to draw a whole network with PT.

Anyway. Here is the file. Ultimately, my goal is to get Po1 and Po2 up and running.

Hello,

as stated, PT is a bit quirky. Review the attached, working file...

Thank you very much. Might I ask how you went about fixing it?
