Gary,

Not to be nitpicky, but why use 'desirable' instead of 'on' when doing
the channel-group?

I know that Cisco loves options, and they love to make things 'detect'
other things, but I've always been a big fan of making things concrete
when possible, so I would use the 'channel-group 1 mode on'. I mean,
let's face it, either you want an etherchannel or you don't. I treat
trunks the same way (as you did in your sample config) where I force
both ends as far as encapsulation and mode. (I also for EVERY
switchport that's NOT a trunk by using 'switchport mode access'.....
Drives my co-workers crazy)

Just curious.

Mike W.

Fan,
This should work:

interface Port-channel1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address

interface FastEthernet0/22
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
 channel-group 1 mode desirable
!
interface FastEthernet0/23
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
 channel-group 1 mode desirable

Regards,
Gary Lileikis
