6.2.4 Packet Tracer - Configure EtherChannel

hi friends welcome to world in this video we are going to discuss CCNA version 7 packet tracer activity configure at her channel before coming to this activity friends if you like to get any CCNA project support or CCNA online classes you can contact our team using our website link you will get from the description below and also if we like to get this type of technical videos in future considered subscribing also don't forget to enable that bill icon near to the subscribe button so that you will get notification message whenever we upload a new video now back to our packet I saw activity here we can see the objectives in part 1 configure basic switch settings in party to configure and a third channel with Cisco P AGP then in part 3 configure an eight node 2.3 ad LACP a third channel and in part 4 configure a redundant a third channel link also we will go through this background 3 switches have just been installed there are redundant up links between the switches as configured only one of these links can be used otherwise a bridging loop might occur however using only one link utilizes only half of the available bandwidth the per channel allows up to 8 redundant links to be bundled together into one logical link in this lab we will configure port aggregation protocol that is P AGP a Cisco a third channel protocol and a link aggregation control protocol that is LACP and I Triple E add node 2.3 ad open standard version of a third channel before beginning the configuration review the authorial configuration guidelines and restrictions are listed at the end of this activity coming to the end of this activity so we can see a third channel configuration guidelines and the restrictions your channel has some specific guidelines that must be followed in order to avoid configuration problems so here we can see those guidelines and restrictions all Ethernet interfaces support a third channel up to a maximum of 8 interfaces with the no determined that the interfaces beyond the same interface module second one is all interfaces vp9 a third channel must operate at the same speed and duplex then the third one is a third channel links can function as either a single VLAN access ports or asset wranglings between switches fourth one all interfaces in a layer to a third channel must be members for the same VLAN or be configured as a trunks fifth one if configured as the trang links layer to a third channel must have the same native VLAN and how the same be lens allowed on both switches connected to the trunk coming to the sixth one when configuring a third channel links all interfaces should be shut down prior to beginning the a third channel configuration when configuration is complete the links can be re-enabled 71 after configuring the third channel verify that all interfaces are in the up bar up stage now coming to the eight point it is possible to configure and a third channel as static or for it to use either be a GP or LACP to negotiate the other channel connection determination of how an eternal is set up is the value of a channel group number mod command and here we can see valid values active LS CP is enabled unconditionally next is a passive l ACP is enabled only if another LACP capable device is connected then a desirable pagp is enabled unconditionally Auto pagp is enabled only if another pagp capable device is connected on a third channel is enabled but without either a CP or pagp no coming to the ninth the point land ports can form a Napper channel using pagp if the Moors are compatible compatible pagp mods are a desirable desirable desirable autumn if both interfaces are in auto mode and a third channel cannot form coming to the tender point land ports can form a network channel using LACP if the Moors are compatible compatible LACP modes are active active active passive if both interfaces are in passive mode and a third channel cannot form using LACP now coming to the last point channel group numbers are a local to the individual s which although this activity uses the same channel group number on either end of the other channel connection it is not a requirement Channel Group one that is interface for channel one on one which can form a network channel with the channel group five this interface for Channel five on another switch so these are the helper channel configuration guidelines and restrictions no here we can see port channel table and tell you how to create this channel group of 123 and we can see the ports and it's a protocol now we will go to the instructions in part 1 configure basic switch settings as in each switch a host name according to the topology diagram ok we will do that first of all we will go to s1 CLI enable configure terminal maybe let's set the hostname as s1 now we will go to s2 in a configure terminal hostname as s2 and we will go to s3 CLI enable configure terminal hostname as s3 next is before beginning the link aggregation between switches verify the existing configuration of the port's that connect the switches to ensure that the port's will successfully join the other channels commands that provide information about the state of the switch port include these are show commands are show interfaces include Ethernet show interface status show interfaces trunk ok just we will give this a shot command in s1 you will exit from this global configuration mode and here we will give show interfaces include a Thermage and here we can see the details each Porter details we will give show interface status sure we can see duplex and speed then we will use this show interfaces at trunk command and we can see these trunk is not configured okay right configure all ports that are a record for their channels as static chunk ports also they given a note here if the ports are configured with the DTP dynamic auto mode and you do not set the mod of that ports to trunk the links do not form trunks and remain access ports the default mode on a tune and 6 euros which is for a dtb to be enabled and I said to dynamic auto DTP can be disabled on interfaces with the switcher port and no negotiate command ok now we will configure all the ports as static a trunk in these switches so first of all we will go to s 1 then CLI and here we can see the ports we used in this switch S 1 G 0 / 1 G 0 / 2 also FS 0 / 21 and FS 0 / 22 so we will go to these interfaces as a range so we can give the command we'll go to kind of T and we will give an interface as a range we have a FA 0 / it's 21 and 22 so it 21-22 also we have a gigabit port G 0 / 1 and G 0 / 2 so G 0 / 1 & 2 - 2 we can give ok and here we are going to give switch a port modest trunk now we will go to s 2 before that we can see the ports G 0 / 1 G 0 / 2 then FS 0 / 23 and the FA 0 / 24 so we'll go to s to CLI we'll go to those interfaces as a range if a zero slash 2324 so we can give - 24 then we have a G 0 / 1 and it - so here we can see that command ok then press Enter and here we will give a switch port modest trunk such a port mode trunk now we will go to s3 before that here we can see the ports we connected it's FA 0 / 21 FA 0 / 22 FS 0 / twenty three FS 0/24 that means from FS 0 / 21 till 24 ok we will go to s 3 will go to interface as a range FA 0 / 21 till 24 correct will give a switch port modest trunk when we can verify these configurations we will verify in any one of the switch using this a show interface a trunk command you will go to s1 end show interface a trunk and here we can see the details these are the port's FA 0 / 21 22 G 0 / 1 G 0 / 2 and we can see it's Terrace at ranking native VLAN and here we can see we lens allowed and active in management domain now we will go to party to configure an approach annal with a cisco pagp again they given a note when configuring a third channels it is recommended to shutdown the physical ports being grouped on both devices before configuring them into channel groups otherwise at her channel msconfig guard may place these ports into a disabled state the pores and port channels can be Orion abled after a third channel is configured now we will go to step 1 configure port channel 1 the first a third channel that is created for this activity aggregates pores FS 0 / 21 and FS 0 / 22 between s 1 and s 3 configure the ports on both switches as a static trunk ports yes so here we can see we are going to configure these ports between s 1 and s 3 so here we can see that link for channel 1 pagp sure they mentioned to configure the ports on both switches as a static trunk ports actually we don't that are previously itself we configured all the ports I mean all these connected tours as a static trunk right next is use the show interfaces trunk command to ensure that you have an active with triangle link for those two links and the native VLAN on both the links is the same so you have to give this command a show interface as trunk we will go to s1 and we can verify that already be given that command here itself we can see FA 0 / 21 and it 22 we can see its mode is on and encapsulation 8 node 2 dot1q status trunking yeah that's fine and we can see in a TV land it's one coming to see on s1 and s3 other ports FA 0 / 21 and FA 0 / 22 to port channel 1 with the channel group 1 more desirable command the more desirable option enables the switch to actively negotiate to form a pagp link not interfaces must be shat on before adding them to the channel group now here we can see the commands we have to give in s1 and s3 so we have to go to those interfaces and say range fa 0 / 21 and 22 then we must shut down then be able to configure a channel group of 1 & 2 we have to give them more as a desirable so that we are configuring pagp right the same way do to do it in s3 we have to go to those interfaces then shadownet then we have to create this channel group one with a motor desirable then we have to give no shutdown command so we will do that on both switches first of all we will go to s1 and we will do that configuration configure terminal here we are going to the interface a cell range will go to FA 0 / 21 and 22 right here we have to shut down first so shut down all these interfaces I mean 21 and 22 okay now we have to create this channel group you will give one and we have to set the motors are desirable then press ENTER ok so here we can see Cree poor channel interface poor channel 1 ok presenter again now we will give an ocean command no we will do it in this switch s3 enable configure terminal we will go to those interfaces as a range fa 0 / 21 and 22 okay so we have to shut down first then we will give channel group one more as a desirable just they will expand this window so that you can view the entire command channel group one more desirable okay then we can see creating a poor channel interface for channel 1 presenter again and we are going to give your children command the message creating a port channel interface for channel 1 should appear on both switches when the channel group is configured yes we have seen on both switches this interface designation will appear as po1 in command output ok so we can verify that Pio or even we can give the show command and we can verify it okay coming to D configure the logical interface to become a trunk by first entering the interface port channel then number command and then the switch port a moderate trunk command add this configuration to both switches this s1 and s3 so here we can see how to go to that interface that is for channel 1 and we have to give a switch port mode trunk the same way we have to do it in s3 also first of all we will do it in the switch s1 okay just real exit from these interfaces then we will go to interface it's a port channel one okay hand it over here to give support to mortise trunk the same way we'll go to s 3 you will exit from all these interfaces then we can give an interface its port channel 1 and here we will give such a port the mortise a trunk now we will go to step 2 will fight for channel 1 status issue the show a per channel summary command on s1 and s3 to verify that other channel is working on both switches this command displays the type of a third channel the port's utilized and the port stay command output is as shown for s1 ok so we have to give this a commander show a third channel summary so we'll go to s1 and we will issue that command end sure a third channel summary ok there are some mistake here to give the third channel together show the third channel summary sure we can see the details and here we can see the ports we used FA 0 slash 21 and 22 protocol we used a pagp and we can see it's a group 1 also we will verify in s3 end and we will give the show command show a third channel summary and here we can see the details you can see the group port Channel and here we can see yes Andi you you mean sites in use this means lair - okay then we can see the protocol be used and the ports if the third channel does not come up shut down the physical interfaces on both ends of the other channel and then bring them back up again the show interfaces a trunk and the show spanning tree commands they should show the poor channel has one illogical link okay we will verify this a show interface a trunk on s1 show interface a trunk and - now we can see the party's support channel one mod own encapsulation and status at ranking and a TV land so it's working no coming to part three configure an eighth-note 2.3 ad LACP a third channel step one configure for channel 2 in 2000 the I to play released eight node 2.3 ad which is an open standard version of a third channel it is commonly referred to as el ACP using the previous commands configure the link between s1 and is to using ports G 0 / 1 and G 0 / 2 as an LACP a third channel you must use a different port channel number on s1 than 1 because you already used that in the previous step to configure port channel 2 as LACP use the interface configuration mode channel group 2 mod active command + T mode indicates that the switch actively tries to negotiate that Lingus LACP as opposed to pH ep the configuration of s1 is a shown below here we can see we have to go to this interface G 0 / 1 and G 0 / 2 then we had to shut down then create channel group 2 with mode active then we have to give in or Chadron command then we can we have to give you have to go to that interface for channel 2 and have you here to give us which you put the models a trunk ok so we are going to make these ports as G 0 / 1 and G 0 / 2 from this switch s1 as LACP at our channel we will do this configuration coming to s1 configure a terminal we will go to those interface as a range that is a G 0 / 1 and it to you to shut down these interfaces okay then we have to create a channel group two more as active ok then press enter and we can see creating a port channel interface for channel 2 now we will give no shadow in command we will exit then we will go to the interface that is a port channel it sir for channel 2 and we will give support the more desert trunk now the same command we have to do it in yes - for these interfaces G 0 / 1 and G 0 / - coming - yes to enable configure terminal we will go to those interfaces arrange its G 0 / 1 and it - you will shadow on these interfaces ok then we will create the channel group - more active okay so creating a poor channel interface port channel 2 now we will give an ocean command then we will go to that interface so we can exit and then we can go to the interface port channel 2 then we can give a support or modisett trunk now coming to step to verify port channel 2 status use the show commands from part 1 step 2 to verify the status of poor channel to look for the protocol used to buy each port ok we can do that here we will go to this switches 1 and we can give that show command end show the third channel summary so here we can see yellow ACP group 2 and the ports G 0 / 1 and G 0 / 2 also we can verify show interface a trunk and here we can see poor channel 2 status trunking native VLAN 1 the same way we can verify in s2 also end show a third channel summary sure we can see group 2 port channel 2 protocol LACP and we can see the ports G 0 / 1 and G 0 / 2 next we will go to part of or configure a redundant at our channel link step 1 configure port channel 3 there are various options for the channel group number mode command so here we have to go to s2 then to these interfaces fs0 slash 23 and 24 and the channel group add three more than they put a question mark active auto desirable on we can see all these modes okay so on switch s2 are the pores fa 0 slash 23 and 0/24 to port channel 3 with the channel group 3 more the passive command okay the passive option indicates that you wonder the switch to use LACP only if another LACP devices are detected so statically configured for channel 3 I said trunk interface so here we can see the command we have to give in s2 so we have to go to those interfaces then share on it then channel group of three more as passive then not a down then we have to go to that interface port channel 3 and you give us which reporter more desert trunk to the configuration hidden as to configure terminal here we'll go to interface answer range that is FA 0 slash 23-24 he will shut down these interfaces then we will create a channel group 3 more as specified will give a passive ok so creating a port channel interface for channel 3 now we will give an osha down command then we will exit then we will go to the interface port channel 3 and we will give a support the modest trunk on s3 are the port's fa 0 / 23 + FS 0/24 - poor channel 3 with the channel group of three more the active command the active option indicates that you want the switch to use LACP and conditionally statically configure a poor channel 3 as a trunk interface ok we will do that in this switch s3 you will go to s3 enable configure terminal you will go to those interfaces arranged that is FA 0 / 23-24 shutdown ok then we will give channel group 3 more that's active so creating a port channel interface port channel 3 ok press enter now we will give no shutdown command then we have to go to exit and then go to the interface port channel 3 then give this command S which reporter modisett trunk now we will go to step 2 verify port channel 3 status use the show commands from part 1 step 2 - very pay the status of port channel 3 I look for the protocol used by each port ok we can verify that first of all will verify in s3 ok we will give an end here we'll give a show a third channel summary right we can use this command and here we can see the group of three poor channel 3 protocol LACP and the ports used FS 0 / 23 and 24 also we can give the show command show interface trunk sure we can see port port channel 3 more the own encapsulation dot ignore 2.1 queue status trunking native VLAN 1 now creating a tour channel links it does not prevent spanning tree from detecting and switching loops you the spanning tree status of the active ports on yes one so we are going to give this command a show spanning tree active and if you are they shown the output VLAN 1 a spanning tree enabled protocol and we can see this for channel 2 is in a blog stage we will verify that in s1 just will go to s1 and will give that command a show spanning tree active enable show a spanning tree active and here we can see this poor channel 2 is in a blocking stage for channel 2 is not operative because spanning tree protocol pays to some ports into blocking mode unfortunately those ports were the gigabit ports in this apology you can restore these ports by configuring s1 to be primary route for VLAN 1 you could also set the priority to 2 4 5 7 6 so we can implement either of any of these commands in this switch s1 will give this a spanning tree with n1 road as primary so that this s1 will become the primary crime in the root bridge yeah so we'll give a configure terminal sure we can give the command a spanning tree we then want as primary ok o spanning tree wheel and one protection mark yeah we have to give a root or otis primary yeah now we can see these ports of G 0 / 1 and 0 / 2 or I mean this for channel 2 is in forwarding States so we can verify that just licks it and here we can give show spanning tree so will protection mark will give for VLAN or active ok and here we can see no port channel - it's a state for reading and we can see these blocked ports in s3 so just we can verify that using the show command show spanning tree we can give active and here we can see now this port three is in a blocking stage you may have to wait for STP to re calculate the tree topology response for red if necessary use the show spanning tree active command to verify that the gigabit ports are now in the forwarding state yes we already verified that okay in this video we configure this packet tracer activity configure a third channel and now here we can see the completion status it's shows hundred percent now dear friends if you have any doubt any suggestions regarding this packet tracer activity please comment below also if you liked our video give a thumb and share with all your friends and also if you like to contact our team you can visit our website link you will get from the
