Hello,
Do we need to configure "non-silent" at the end of "channel-group" command for at least one end of the PAgP etherchannel link?? I came across this in the doc CD 12.1(14):
"If you do not specify non-silent with the auto or desirable mode, silent is assumed. The silent mode is used when the switch is connected to a device that is not PAgP-capable and seldom, if ever, sends packets. A example of a silent partner is a file server or a packet analyzer that is not generating traffic. In this case, running PAgP on a physical port prevents that port from ever becoming operational; however, it allows PAgP to operate, to attach the interface to a channel group, and to use the interface for transmission. Both ends of the link cannot be set to silent. "
The last sentence is the one which got me confused as I have tried many times and it seem to work without "non-silent" configured on both ends. I guess there's no harm inserting the word in too.
Thanks
David
