He updates configuration on the same interface. Got B for the first time but now I think it’s C. Got caught so many times with not reading or understanding question correctly.

Important tip is to always check the hostname of the console output and cross-reference with the question text.

This is why I got out of cisco administration. After 25 years they could never have 1 standard... There are three options for configuring an EtherChannel: PAgP: A Cisco proprietary protocol LACP: An IEEE standard Manual: Bundle multiple physical interfaces without any protocol PAgP has two modes: Auto mode: The interface can respond to PAgP packet negotiation but will never start one on its own. Desirable mode: The interface actively attempts a negotiating state for PAgP packet negotiation. LACP has two modes: Active: The interface actively sends LACP packets in its attempt to form an LACP connection. Passive: The interface can respond to LACP negotiation but will never initiate on its own.

Selected Answer: B

B. interface fastethernet 1/1 channel-group 2 mode on To establish an EtherChannel with another vendor switch, the configuration should be set to "mode on" for the interface. This means that the EtherChannel will be formed without using any specific negotiation protocol like PAgP (Cisco proprietary) or LACP (IEEE standard). The command for this would be: interface fastethernet 1/1 channel-group 2 mode on

When using the "mode on" configuration, the EtherChannel will be created "only" when another interface group is in EtherChannel "on" mode. However, one major drawback of using manually configured "On" EtherChannel Mode is that any layer one device like media converter or modem between two Etherchannel devices will not be able to diagnose link failure and keep on sending the traffic while PAgP/LACP configured devices will detect the failure and respond to it. The question also doesn't speak anything about such requirements. CCNA isn't an expert level exam and it doesn't ask such complicated questions. Answer is only B.

Configure Cross-Stack EtherChannel Without PAgP or LACP -> channel-group 1 mode on or Configure Cross-Stack EtherChannel with LACP -> channel-group 1 mode active/passive I would go for C
