Hey Everyone,
I am building out a customer that needs more than 1000Mbps of sustained
bandwidth. Because of the customer equipment, etherchannel was suggested
as the means to do this (it is compatible with this customers equipment).
I am running a 6509 with Dual SUP720's in IOS mode only (no cat software).
It was pointed out that there are really two different ways to configure
the switch - I guess my question is which is the best (lowest overhead,
etc)? Hopefully someone out there has been down this road before.
TIA
Two methods:
!
interface Port-channel2
no ip address
switchport
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
!
interface GigabitEthernet7/1
no ip address
switchport
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
channel-group 2 mode on
!
interface GigabitEthernet8/1
no ip address
switchport
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
channel-group 2 mode on
!
interface Vlan10
description Customer_Name
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.0.0
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
!
And then there is this way:
!
interface Port-channel2
description Customer_Name
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.0.0
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
!
interface GigabitEthernet7/1
description Customer_Name EtherChannel Interface #1
no ip address
channel-group 2 mode on
!
interface GigabitEthernet8/1
description Customer_Name EtherChannel Interface #2
no ip address
channel-group 2 mode on
!
