Entering in the following commands

interface FastEthernet0/13
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
 channel-group 1 mode on
!
interface FastEthernet0/14
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
 channel-group 1 mode on

Be sure you know how you are setting up your channel-group
 channel-group 1 mode ?
  active Enable LACP unconditionally
  auto Enable PAgP only if a PAgP device is detected
  desirable Enable PAgP unconditionally
  on Enable Etherchannel only
  passive Enable LACP only if a LACP device is detected

After entering in that command, the 3550 will prompt you with the
following:

Switch(config-if-range)#channel-g 1 mode on
Creating a port-channel interface Port-channel 1

If you now do a show run you will see the first interface that shows up
is:

!
interface Port-channel1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
!

The port channel will inherit the config you put on the actual port and
vice versa....if you create the interface port-channel1 first, then add
the port interface into the channel-group from the default setting, it
will pull its config from the port channel.

You can also set up port channels for L3 operation as well.

Subject: NMC#2

    I'm having a hard time seeing the Cat1 to Cat2 connection in the NMC
scenario's diagram. Is this indicative of the CCIE lab in general (that
there may be a lab diagram with some connectivity that's not shown in
the
diagram)?
 
    Also: In the NMC#2 scenario, there's a port-channel interface that
maps
to the channel-group instances on Fa 0/13 and 0/14. In this scenario,
both
the physical interfaces and the L2 port-channel interface has the
following
commands:
 
sw tr enc dot1q
sw tr allowed vlan 10,20,30,40,50
sw mode trunk
 
    I would check it myself, but I don't have connectivity to equipment
today. My question is as follows:
 
    Is this port-channel to physical interface configuration mapping
done
dynamically by the switch or must it be manually configured?
 
    Thanks.
 

Sincerely,
