SGE2010 port-channel and trunking config question

[jacqueline.allen]

I have port-channels configured and working for the native VLAN on multiple SGE2010s. I now want to add multiple VLANs and enable trunking for the port-channel. I am not clear on the appropriate way to enable trunking as it can be enabled on the port and on the port-channel. The ports and port-channel are currently in access mode. If anyone can provide the correct configuration, I would appreciate the guidance. I also need to get the port-channels and trunking working with 3Com 4500 & 4200s. If you know of any configuration issues, again any guidance would be appreciated

If you are asking for the comands to configurate trunking for the port-channel, please follow the next example.

on interface Port-channel#

switchport trunk encapsulation (Type of encapsulation desired)

switchport trunk allowed vlan (vlans allowed)

switchport mode trunk

switchport nonegotiate

no ip address

End

Hi Jacqueline,

Sorry Juans answer needs some correction, but I am grateful for Juans participation.

The SGE2010 does not support a CLI.

There is a unsupported CLI,  that someone plastered somehwere on this community, but i must admit i still like to use the GUI.

The software on the SGE2XXX was recently updated so you can find that on the cisco.com website.

I have created a link below  to a recording i just made,  regarding Link aggregation on the SGE2XXXX, i thnk if you see the 11 minute recording a couple of times, maybe pause it, play with your switch, it  will start to make sense.

you can't breat the switch by configuring it
