Etherchannel with portchannel trunk.


Ether-channel or (link aggregation). Ether-channel is a technology that allows us to bundle multiple physical links into a single logical link. Ether-channel is used to aggregate bandwidth between multiple layer 2 / layer 3 interfaces



In other words Ether channel is a link aggregation technology on Cisco devices (primarily switches) which allows us to combine multiple physical links and make it into a single logical link. Multiple physical links into a single logical link. The advantage of Ether channels is that it provides high bandwidth.

Ether-channel increase bandwidth and provides redundancy by aggregating individual links between switches. Ether-channel load balances traffic over all the links in the bundle.

 We can use maximum 8 physical interface to configure bundle into a single logical link 



let see the configuration of Ether-channel with port-channel trunk.

Topology:



























  • configure the bundle of four links. make it one logical link.
  • configure pagp 
  • configure the portchannel interface as Trunk link.
