A network administrator needs to configure a routed (Layer 3) EtherChannel using LACP dynamic negotiation across physical interfaces GigabitEthernet0/1 and GigabitEthernet0/2 on a Cisco switch. Place the configuration steps in the correct sequential order from first to last.
- 1Enter interface range configuration mode for physical member interfaces GigabitEthernet0/1 and GigabitEthernet0/2.
- 2Execute the 'no switchport' command on the physical member interfaces to disable Layer 2 switching functionality.
- 3Execute the 'channel-group 1 mode active' command on the physical member interfaces to initiate LACP negotiation.
- 4Enter logical interface Port-channel 1 configuration mode and assign the IPv4 address and subnet mask.
Answer
The correct sequence of steps to configure a Layer 3 EtherChannel using LACP is: 1) Enter interface range configuration mode for the physical member interfaces; 2) Execute the 'no switchport' command on the physical member interfaces; 3) Execute the 'channel-group 1 mode active' command on the physical member interfaces; 4) Enter logical interface Port-channel 1 configuration mode and assign the IPv4 address and subnet mask.
The proper administrative workflow begins by selecting physical member links GigabitEthernet0/1 and GigabitEthernet0/2. Disabling Layer 2 switching on these interfaces via 'no switchport' establishes them as routed interfaces. Binding them to channel-group 1 using LACP active mode creates the logical port-channel and begins dynamic trunk negotiation. Finally, navigating into interface Port-channel 1 mode permits configuration of the routed IP address.
