Loading ...Here are the relevant parts of the configuration to setup an etherchannel between an IOS device and a CatOS device. First lets start with the CatOS device, in this case a 6509. We will be using ports 3/9 and 3/10.
We first need to set the ports we want to use to be a trunk. Here we are forcing dot1q.
6509#set trunk 3/1-2 nonegotiate dot1q
Now we need to setup the port channels. These channels will be used as 1 and aggregate bandwidth between them.
6509#set port channel 3/9-10
Note: There is an option at the end of this command to specify the admin group. This is how the CatOS groups the ports. If you do not specify the admin group, the CatOS will automatically assign one. This is something to watch out for if you set each port separately.
