hello,
I have a cat 2924XL connected to a 3550.
the terminology for the 2924XL is "port group"
the terminology for the 3550 is "ether-channel port-channel"
port fast 0/15 on the 2924XL is connected to fast 0/15 on the 3550
port fast 0/16 on the 2924XL is connected to fast 0/16 on the 3550
I have chosen to use 802.1Q trunking - because I prefer is personally - It's
much better ;-)
how to config:
2924XL:
!
cat2924xl#show run int fast 0/15
Building configuration...
Current configuration:
!
interface FastEthernet0/15
 duplex full
 speed 100
 port group 1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
end
cat2924xl#show run int fast 0/16
Building configuration...
Current configuration:
!
interface FastEthernet0/16
 duplex full
 speed 100
 port group 1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
end

As you can see destination MAC's are  spread over the "Po1" ie the 'Po'rt
channel 1
As soon as you type the words " channel-group 1 mode on "
then a new virtual interface is created thus:
!
interface Port-channel1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode trunk
 no ip address
!
If you conf t into this interface then you are presented with limited
switchport options
Hope this helps

Subject: 3550 (etherchannel) trunking
Hi,
  Does 3550 supports etherchannel trunking?
I can't make this work? I'm using two 3550 routers.
A config would be fine..
Thanks,
Angelo
