Thanks Brian and Dee :) I was looking at the 3550 ver12.2(37)SE but it does
not have the command reference there ..... I will need to improve my
navigation skills on the Doc CD.
[1] On another note, if we create a channel and do not explicitly enable
port-channel load balance, would the channel use its default value ?
Thank you,
ccie1101.
