Hi All,

Best thing to do before configuring the port channel is to shut the ports
and configure on both sides and un shut thereafter.

Beware "Dont forget to unshut after you finish ur configuration"

Re: Etherchannel & err-disable

I beleive the interfaces going to err-disable mode when there is only one
side configured by channel-group X mode on, due to STP issue, when you
enable ether-channel all Ether-channel members sending traffic which
casued
in the err-disable.
