Port channel Numbers

[acontreras1111]

Hello,

I am setting up port channels for the first time in a new network.

I am using a cisco WS-C3850-24S switch to uplink our IDF's which are 2960x switches.

My question is if IDF 1 is uplinked on the 3850 on port 5 and the channel port group on the 3850 on port 5 is channel-group 5  mode active. Does uplink on the switch also have to be on channel-group 5?

Or can it be anynumber?

It can be any number

Channel group number is locally significant. So it does not need to match at both ends of the link.
