RE: Etherchannel negotiation real world applications

And when that happens you cannot form negotiations with the other side.
But I will set it up as desirable so that even when they other side is
not it will form regular trunk.

Subject: Etherchannel negotiation real world applications

Hi,

I am just going over etherchannel at the moment and wondering what the
pro's and cons are comparing negotiation and no negotiation.

I know it is similar to DTP where you can automatically negotiate an
etherchannel but why do this? You still have to create a channel group
interface at both ends so why not just set the mode to 'ON' while you
are there?

I understand its application with servers that talk LACP for example.
Does anyone know why negotiation would be preferred over no negotiation
and vice versa?

Thanks,

-Aaron.
