Trunking and Channelling are unrelated. A port-channel interface can be an
access port, a trunk port, a dot1q tunnel, or a native layer 3 routed
interface. Just make sure that the configuration of the port-channel and all
its member interfaces are identical. Whether you can skip interfaces or not
depends on the platform. On the 3550 you can, but not on all other Cisco
switching platforms.

Subject: Port-channel issue
Hi,
I have a query regarding the port-channel configuration.
1.Should the port-channel be always configured on the trunk port ? Can I use
other ports and create a channel ?
2. Do the ports should be in sequence ? Like 1 switch having port number 1-2
and the other switch having ports 4 and 10 ?
