EtherChannel
The EtherChannel feature is also known under the name of Port Trunking. It allows equipment
to pass data through multiple physical links. Providing an extended bandwidth and redundancy.
NOTE: If you want to use this feature in conjunction with VLAN be aware that you must
set exactly the same VLAN configuration for each physical link that belongs to the
EtherChannel group.
Also, before proceeding to the configuration of trunking ports you should be aware of the
following considerations:
1. You cannot mix different media types (for example, optical and copper) in the same group.
2. You cannot declare more than 8 ports in a group.
3. You should declare groups with ports belonging to the same switching engine. You may
declare a group using ports 1 to 8, or port 9 to 17 or port 18 to 24 or port 25 and 26.
NOTE: The EM2025-2GE module does not support EtherChannel groups.
