Objectives
1) Part 1: Build the Network and Load Device Configurations
Background / Scenario
The switches at your company were configured by an inexperienced network administrator.
Several errors in the configuration have resulted in speed and connectivity issues. Your
manager has asked you to troubleshoot and correct the configuration errors and document
your work. Using your knowledge of EtherChannel and standard testing methods, find and
correct the errors. Ensure that all of the EtherChannels use Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP),
and that all hosts are reachable.
Note: The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9
image). Other switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco
4.2.2.4 Lab – Troubleshooting EtherChannel
IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in
the labs.
Note: Make sure that the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you
are unsure, contact your instructor.
Required Resources
• 3 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
• 2 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
• Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
• Ethernet cables as shown in the topology
4.2.2.4 Lab – Troubleshooting EtherChannel
In Part 1, you will set up the network topology, configure basic settings on the PC hosts, and
load configurations on the switches.
Step 3: Erase the startup and VLAN configurations and reload the switches.

S1#show interfaces trunk
a. Use the show etherchannel summary command to verify that interfaces are configured in
the correct port channel, the proper protocol is configured, and the interfaces are in use.
S1>enable
S1#show etherchannel summary
Based on the output, are there any EtherChannel issues? If issues are found, record them in
the space provided below. = Ja
- Port Channel 1 is down + geconfigureerd met the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
- de ports in Port-Channel functioneren independently (I = stand-alone) in P01 terwijl P2 code P
hebben.
4.2.2.4 Lab – Troubleshooting EtherChannel
b. Use the command show run | begin interface Port-channel command to view the running
configuration beginning with the first port channel interface.
S1>enable
S1#show run | begin interface Port-channel
c. Resolve all problems found in the outputs from the previous show commands. Record the
commands used to correct the configurations.
Port-channel 1 = switchport mode trunk
- FA0/1 -> Channel-group 1 mode active = LACP
- FA0/2 -> Channel-group 1 mode active = LACP
Op FA0/1 en FA0/2 staat het LACP protocol geconfigureerd. We moeten dit verwijderen en
configureren naar het PAgP protocol:
S1>enable
S1#configure terminal
S1#interface range fastEthernet 0/1-2
S1(config-if-range)#no channel-group 1 mode active
S1(config-if-range)#channel-group 1 mode desirable
S1(config-if-range)#exit
Op port-channel 2 staat de switchport op mode acces. We moeten aanpassen naar trunk mode:
S1(config)#interface port-channel 2
S1(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
S1> enable
S1# copy running-config startup-config
S1>enable
S1#show interfaces trunk
4.2.2.4 Lab – Troubleshooting EtherChannel
e. Use the show etherchannel summary command to verify that the port channels are up and
in use.
S1>enable
S1#show etherchannel summary
S1>enable
S1#reload

S2>enable
S2#show interfaces trunk
Based on the output, are there any issues with the configurations? If issues are found,
record them in the space provided below. = Ja,
- Port Channel 3 is niet te vinden in deze output
- VLAN 10 is toegekend in Port Channel 1.
b. Issue the command to verify that interfaces are configured in the correct port channel and
the proper protocol is configured.
S2>enable
S2#show etherchannel summary
Based on the output, are there any EtherChannel issues? If issues are found, record them in
the space provided below. = Ja
- Port Channel 3 is down.
c. Use the command show run | begin interface Port-channel to view the running
configuration beginning with the first port-channel interface.

S2>enable
S2#show run | begin interface Port-channel
d. Resolve all problems found in the outputs from the previous show commands. Record the
commands used to correct the configuration.
Port channel 3 = switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,99
- FA0/3 -> Shutdown = interface disabled
- FA0/4 -> Shutdown = interface disabled
Interfaces FA0/3 en FA0/4 zijn disabled, down. We moeten deze eerst enabled zetten.
S2>enable
S2#configure terminal
S2(config)#interface range fastEthernet 0/3-4
S2(config-if-range)#no shutdown
S2(config-if-range)#exit
S2(config)#interface port-channel 1
S2(config-if)#switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,99
S2>enable
S2#copy running-config startup-config
S2> enable
S2#show interfaces trunk
VLAN 10 staat in de lijst bij allowed on trunk. Port Channel 3 kunnen we nog altijd niet zien omdat we
de configuratie nog moeten afwerken op S3.
4.2.2.4 Lab – Troubleshooting EtherChannel
f. Issue the command to verify that the port channels are functioning. Remember that port
channel issues can be caused by either end of the link.
S2>enable
S2#show etherchannel summary
S3>enable
S3#show interfaces trunk
Based on the output, are there any issues with the configurations? If issues are found,
record them in the space provided below. = Ja,
- Port Channel 2 is niet te vinden in deze output
b. Issue the command to verify that the interfaces are configured in the correct port channel
and that the proper protocol is configured.
S3>enable
S3#show etherchannel summary
Based on the output, are there any EtherChannel issues? If issues are found, record them in
the space provided below. = Ja
- Port Channel 2 wordt niet getoond
- Port Channel 3 is niet goed geconfigureerd: hier worden interfaces FA0/3 en FA0/4 gebruikt.
Maar Port-channel 3 op S3 hebben interfaces FA0/1 en FA0/2.
c. Use the command show run | begin interface Port-channel command to view the running
configuration beginning with the first port channel interface.

S3>enable
S3#show run | begin interface Port-channel
d. Resolve all problems found. Record the commands used to correct the configuration.
4.2.2.4 Lab – Troubleshooting EtherChannel
Port channel 2
- FA0/3 -> Channel-group 3 mode desirables
- FA0/4 -> Channel-group 3 mode desirables
Interfaces FA0/3 en FA0/4 zijn ingesteld met Channel-group 3, maar deze interfaces horen bij Port-
channel2. We moeten deze interfaces dus aanpassen naar channel-group 2.
S3>enable
S3#configure terminal
S3(config)#interface range fastEthernet 0/3-4
S3(config-if-range)#channel-group 2 mode desirable
S3(config-if-range)#exit
Port-channel 3
- FA0/1 -> Shutdown = interface disabled, down
- FA0/2 -> Shutdown = interface disabled, down
Op port-channel 3 zijn de interfaces disabled, down. We moeten deze enabled zetten en al de overige
informatie van channel 3 toevoegen in de configuratie.
S3>enable
S3#copy running-config startup-config
e. Issue the command to verify trunk settings. Record the command used in the space
provided below.
S3> enable
S3#show interfaces trunk
f. Issue the command to verify that the port channels are functioning. Record the command
used in the space provided below.

If EtherChannels are not fully functional, connectivity between switches does not exist, or
connectivity between hosts does not exist. Troubleshoot to resolve any remaining issues.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC firewall for pings between the PCs to succeed.
