Tasks
-

Physical connectivity is implemented between the two Layer 2 switches, and the network connectivity between them must be configured.

1. Configure an LACP EtherChannel and number it as 44; configure it between switches SW1 and SW2 using interfaces Ethemet0/0 and Ethernet0/1 on both sides. The LACP mode must match on both ends.
2. Configure the EtherChannel as a trunk link.
3. Configure the trunk link with 802.1q tags.
4. Configure VLAN 'MONITORING' as the untagged VLAN of the EtherChannel.

There is a lot of things wrong with this. First before you create an etherchannel you have to shutdown the ports you going to create it on. Second when you go into the etherchannel interface to create the trunk you have to type the command interface port-channel 44. Lastly you have to you have issue the no shutdown command on the interface ranges on both switches at the end to bring them back up.

I just tried on my lab: 1. No need to shutdown. The command will be rejected only if the interfaces is L2 instead of L3. So the "no switchport" command on interfaces will do the work. 2. You can go to "interface port-channel 44" with just "interface port44"

Shutdown while configuring etherchannel is a best practice though

The question is not clear or incomplete. Where is the VLAN defined? Where is 746 from? Which VLANs need to be allowed on the trunk?

On second thought, It's best practice to "no shutdown" EtherChannel's.

Type "show vlan brief" and figure out the ID of the VLAN named "MONITORING". I'll just call it "vlan-monitoring-id", but obviously you'll need to substitute. Switch(config)#interface range e0/0-1 Switch(config-if-ra)#shutdown Switch(config-if-ra)#channel-group 44 mode active Switch(config-if-ra)#interface port-channel 44 Switch(config-if)#switchport mode trunk Switch(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q Switch(config-if)#switchport trunk native vlan vlan-monitoring-id Switch(config-if)#no shutdown Switch(config-if)#do copy running-config startup-config Run the same commands on both switches and you're done.

Hey. Like your answer best though when I am doing this on packet tracer do we need the no shut on the int range e0/0-1 too? I have also made it work, not best practice apparently, without using 'shut/ no shut' at all... Any further comments? Thanks again!

Please replace ‘MONITORING’ with the actual VLAN ID for the ‘MONITORING’ VLAN in your network. Also, please ensure that the ‘MONITORING’ VLAN exists on both switches before applying this configuration.

Sorry, "switchport trunk native vlan MONITORING" is a wrong command. This vlan MONITORING must have an ID needed to create it.

If S1 is 'Active', then S2 must be 'Passive' right? no?

The question is asking to keep LACP mode same on both side, hence you have to keep it active on both side. There won't be an issue with running LACP active/active, As a matter of fact, when you connect Nexus 2ks to 5ks or 7ks active/active should be configured.

this seems legit.. altough.. i would create the portchannel 44 interface with all the configuration required.. then apply it to the interface range with the channel-group command
