Manoj,

Here is a pretty fail-safe way to get the port channels up and you'll
want to create a different group between each of the switches:

Rack1SW4(config)#default interface f0/13
Interface FastEthernet0/13 set to default configuration
Rack1SW4(config)#default interface f0/14
Interface FastEthernet0/14 set to default configuration
Rack1SW4(config)#default interface f0/15
Interface FastEthernet0/15 set to default configuration
Rack1SW4(config)#in range f0/13-15
Rack1SW4(config-if-range)#shut
*May 8 04:09:06.538: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/13,
changed state to administratively down
*May 8 04:09:06.650: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/14,
changed state to administratively down
*May 8 04:09:06.774: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/15,
changed state to administratively down
*May 8 04:09:07.538: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface
FastEthernet0/13, changed state to down
Rack1SW4(config-if-range)#channel-group 19 mo ac

FastEthernet0/15, changed state to down
Rack1SW4(config-if-range)#in po19
% Command exited out of interface range and its sub-modes.

Rack1SW4(config-if)#swi t e d

Rack1SW4(config-if)#in range f0/13-15
Rack1SW4(config-if-range)#no shut
Rack1SW4(config-if-range)#do show eth su
*May 8 04:09:21.542: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/13,
changed state to up
*May 8 04:09:21.546: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/14,

*May 8 04:09:21.546: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/15,

Rack1SW4(config-if-range)#do show eth sum
Rack1SW4(config-if-range)#do show eth sum
Flags: D - down P - bundled in port-channel
        I - stand-alone s - suspended
        H - Hot-standby (LACP only)
        R - Layer3 S - Layer2
        U - in use f - failed to allocate aggregator

        M - not in use, minimum links not met
        u - unsuitable for bundling
        w - waiting to be aggregated
        d - default port

Number of channel-groups in use: 1
Number of aggregators: 1

Group Port-channel Protocol Ports
------+-------------+-----------+---------------------------------------
--------
19 Po19(SU) LACP Fa0/13(P) Fa0/14(P) Fa0/15(P)

Summary:

Default the interface
Shut them down
Create the channel-group
Edit the port-channel interface
Bring the members up.

I would create one channel per neighbor. Of course Interface range works
as
you mentioned (channel-protocol lacp +
channel-group 1 mode active/passive) then you can provide cmds under
port-channel accordingly.
