Hi Group
I am not sure what the difference between Layer2 and Layer3 etherchannel is
and when you would use either? Naturally, etherchannel is a PagP mechanism but
when would you use Layer 3 and when would you use Layer 2? Would you assign IP
addresses to the interface port-channel in a Layer 3 senario?
"For Layer 2 EtherChannels, you must configure the channel-group interface
configuration command, which automatically creates the port-channel logical
interface. You cannot put Layer 2 interfaces into a manually created
port-channel interface.
You create Layer 3 port channels by using the interface port-channel command.
You must manually configure the port-channel logical interface before putting
the interface into the channel group."
Thanks
Edward
