Subject: Layer 2 Etherchannel versus Layer 3 Etherchannel
What I understand:
With a Layer 2 Etherchannel you group layer 2 interfaces together. With
a Layer 3 Etherchannel you combine multiple Layer 2 interfaces as one,
then you assigned them an IP.
What I want to know?
I assume if they created this new technology it's because it must have
been needed. Can some one give me a (real life) example of the kind of
problems Layer 3 Etherchannel solve? If you don't have a real life
example, a hypothetical one is OK too.
Thanks,
Pierre-Alex
