Tutorial 2 Etherchannel

The document discusses troubleshooting issues with forming an EtherChannel connection between switches S1 and S2. It asks the reader to identify why the EtherChannel is down based on the output shown, and suggests settings that must match on both ends for successful formation. It also asks what configuration should be changed to use PAgP instead of the current protocol.

Tutorial 2

Question 1

(i) Refer to Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3, illustrate why PAgP etherchannel is not created.

Figure 1-2: Etherchannel network

Switch2#show run
:
<omitted ouput>
:
interface FastEthernet0/1
channel-group 3 mode on

interface FastEthernet0/5
channel-group 3 mode auto

Figure 1-3: “show run” command

(ii) Suggest TWO (2) settings that must be identical on both ends of the connections for Etherchannel
network to be successfully formed as shown in Figure 1-2.
Question 2

(i) Explain why the EtherChannel between S1 and S2 is down.

S1# show etherchannel summary


Flags: D - down P - bundled in port-channel
I - stand-alone s - suspended
H - Hot-standby (LACP only)
R - Layer3 S - Layer2
U - in use f - failed to allocate aggregator
M - not in use, minimum links not met
u - unsuitable for bundling
w - waiting to be aggregated
d - default port
Number of channel-groups in use: 1
Number of aggregators: 1

(ii) What would you suggest to correct the issue shown in Q11(a) if the requirement is to use PAgP?

Question 3
An EtherChannel was configured between switches S1 and S2, but the interfaces do not form an
EtherChannel. Identify and rectify the problem. Justify your answers.
