Step 1: Configure EtherChannels
Create EtherChannels according to the EtherChannel Port Assignments Table Use the Cisco LACP protocol Both sides of
the channel should attempt to negotiate the link protocol.
Step 2: Configure Trunking on the EtherChannels
a. Configure the port channel interfaces as static trunks Disable DTP negotiation on all trunks.
b. Troubleshoot any issues that prevent the formation of the EtherChannels.
Note: Packet Tracer requires configuration of trunking and DTP mode on both portchannel interfaces and the component
physical interfaces
