Configure EtherChannels
You can create up to six EtherChannels, and you can configure each
EtherChannel in one of these modes.
• IEEE 802.3ad (LACP) mode (default)
This allows the switch to create one end of the EtherChannel if the
other switch requests it.
• Static mode
This mode requires you to make sure that both ends of the
EtherChannel have the same configuration and then to manually create
the EtherChannel.
• Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) mode
This mode allows the switch to automatically form an EtherChannel
with the other switch.
Use the EtherChannels dialog box to create, modify, and delete
EtherChannels. To display this dialog box, choose Configure>EtherChannels
from the Device Manager Web interface menu.
