Creating an EtherChannel (Link Aggregation)
With the Cisco C4948E and C4948-10GE switches you can create multiple EtherChannels (link aggregation) with
up to eight ports. The C4948E and C4948-10GE switch configuration B and configuration E files provided by
Avid use ports 45 to 48 for this function.
Depending on what you are connecting to the EtherChannel, you might have to change the load balancing
algorithm of the switch on the other end. Also consider the type of link aggregation protocol used on the link. For
example, if you are connecting to a Cisco EtherChannel, change the load balancing to support source-destination
IP address. In this example a range of ports is assigned to a VLAN and an Ether Channel (Layer 2) created.

Use the same procedure for creating 10 Gb EtherChannel groups that connect to ISIS.
To create a link aggregation:
1. Use your terminal emulation program or telnet into switch.
