Configuring EtherChannels

To remove a port from the EtherChannel group, use the no channel-group interface configuration
command. If you delete the EtherChannel by using the no interface port-channel global configuration
command without removing the physical interfaces, the physical interfaces are shut down. If you do not
want the member physical interfaces to shut down, remove the physical interfaces before deleting the
EtherChannel.

This example shows how to assign a range of interfaces as static-access ports in VLAN 10 to channel 5
with the PAgP mode desirable:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/17 -18

Switch(config-if-range)# switchport mode access

Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 10

Switch(config-if-range)# channel-group 5 mode desirable

Switch(config-if-range)# end

Configuring EtherChannel Load Balancing

This section describes how to configure EtherChannel load balancing by using source-based or
destination-based forwarding methods. For more information, see the

“Understanding Load Balancing

and Forwarding Methods” section on page 24-6
