Verify the EtherChannel configuration on the switch as follows:
Switch> enable
Switch#
Switch#show etherchannel 25 port-channel
Port-channels in the group:
---------------------------
Port-channel: Po25 (Primary Aggregator)
------------
Age of the Port-channel = 01d:05h:36m:10s
Logical slot/port = 10/25 Number of ports = 4
HotStandBy port = null
Port state = Port-channel Ag-Inuse
Protocol = LACP

Verify the LACP link aggregation on the server. Ports 3, 4, 6, and 7 are in LACP link aggregation
901. Enter the following APA lanadmin command:
# lanadmin -x -i 901
Link Aggregate PPA # : 901
Link Aggregation Mode : LACP_AUTO
Load Balance Mode : MAC Address based (LB_MAC)
Active Ports PPA # : 3 4 6 7
Port(s) not ready : NONE
#
Example: Setting up a cross stack Manual mode link aggregation
If you want to set up a Manual mode link aggregation instead of the LACP link aggregation, use the
same command to create this trunk on the switch. Only the mode option is different. In the LACP link
aggregation, the mode is active or passive. For Manual mode aggregation, the mode value is on.
On the master switch (switch 1), define the Manual mode EtherChannel as follows:
Switch> enable
Switch#config terminal
Switch(config)#interface range Gi1/0/13 - 14
Switch(config-if-range)#switchport mode access
