On most Cisco switches it is possible to create logical connections that are made-up off different physical interface. It is required that these interfaces share the same speed. Most Cisco switches support a maximum of 64 EtherChannels. These interfaces do not need to be contiguous, or even within the same module. Each channel must be […]

EtherChannel is a port link aggregation technology or port-channel architecture that allows grouping of several physical Ethernet links to create one logical Ethernet link for the purpose of providing fault-tolerance and high-speed links between switches. An EtherChannel can be created from between two to eight active Fast, Gigabit Ethernet ports; with an additional one to eight inactive (failover) […]
