channel-group
channel-group
Use the channel-group interface configuration command to assign an Ethernet port to an EtherChannel
group. Use the no form of this command to remove an Ethernet port from an EtherChannel group.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP.) and Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) are available only
Note
on network node interfaces (NNIs) or enhanced network interfaces (ENIs). The active, auto, desirable,
and passive keywords are not visible on user network interfaces (UNIs).

Specify the channel group number. The range is 1 to 48.
Specify the EtherChannel mode.
Unconditionally enable LACP
Active mode places a port into a negotiating state in which the port initiates
negotiations with other ports by sending LACP packets. A channel is
formed with another port group in either the active or passive mode.
Enable the PAgP only if a PAgP device is detected.
Auto mode places a port into a passive negotiating state in which the port
responds to PAgP packets it receives but does not start PAgP packet
negotiation. A channel is formed only with another port group in desirable
mode. When auto is enabled, silent operation is the default.
Unconditionally enable PAgP.
Desirable mode places a port into an active negotiating state in which the
port starts negotiations with other ports by sending PAgP packets. A
channel is formed with another port group in either the desirable or auto
mode. When desirable is enabled, silent operation is the default.
(Optional) Use in PAgP mode with the auto or desirable keyword when
traffic is expected from the other device.
