Hi
pagp is used by default; this you can probably prove to yourself. If you
require to etherchannels between a cisco and non-cisco device, then you will
require to use lacp which is the standard. Pagp is cisco only. Therefore,
the command portchannel-mode comes handy.

Subject: Etherchannel: channel-protocol command
Hello,
When is the command "channel-protocol" used when configuring etherchannel?
From the doc CD 12.1(19)EA1:
"Use the channel-protocol interface configuration command to configure an
EtherChannel for the Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) or Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP). Use the no form of this command to disable PAgP or
LACP on the EtherChannel.
channel-protocol {lacp | pagp}
no channel-protocol
Syntax Description
lacp
Configure an EtherChannel with the LACP protocol.
pagp
Configure an EtherChannel with the PAgP protocol.
Defaults
No protocol is assigned to the EtherChannel."
The default is no protocol which seems to say we need this cmd whether we
are using PagP or LACP. However, I remembered that I never need to configure
this command to get the etherchannel to work. All I need to config is
"channel-group mode". Hope someone can clarify. Thank you.
Rgds
David
