A network administrator needs to configure a routed Layer 3 EtherChannel using LACP across physical interfaces GigabitEthernet 0/1 and 0/2 on a Cisco Catalyst switch. Drag and drop the CLI configuration steps into the correct sequential order from first to last.
- 1Enter configuration mode for the physical interface range: interface range GigabitEthernet 0/1 - 2
- 2Disable Layer 2 switching on the physical interfaces: switchport / no switchport
- 3Assign physical interfaces to an LACP channel group: channel-group 1 mode active
- 4Configure the IPv4 address on the logical interface: interface Port-channel 1 followed by ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252
Answer
The correct sequence begins with selecting the physical interface range, disabling switchport functionality to convert them to Layer 3, defining the LACP channel group mode to generate the logical bundle, and finally entering the Port-channel interface to assign the IP address.
To create a functional Layer 3 EtherChannel using LACP, the network administrator must first access the physical member interfaces using the range command, disable Layer 2 switchport characteristics with 'no switchport', group the links into an active LACP channel group with 'channel-group 1 mode active', and finally apply the network IP addressing directly onto the resulting logical Port-channel interface.
