Not sure I get your point.

On one side you use etherchannel, and the other side you use etherchannel. Same technology so what's the difference ?

If you want to bundle bandwitdh you use etherchannel. Whether you use the virtual etherchannel interface for trunking or for L3 routing that is a matter of what your need are.
If you are talking about design on whether a L3 capable switch be configured with terminating the VLAN locally or run them through a trunk port, that is an entirely different question and still depends on what your need.

Hi Group,

Could someone explain when should I use layer 3 etherchannel? What makes it
better than layer 2?

Thank you very much.

Jeff
