EtherChannel Questions
If you are not sure about EtherChannel, please read our EtherChannel tutorial.
Question 1
Explanation
The way EtherChannel load balancing works is that the switch assigns a hash result from 0-7 based on the configured hash method ( load balancing algorithm ) for the type of traffic. This hash result is commonly called as Result Bundle Hash (RBH).
Now we need to convert Load value from Hexadecimal to Binary numbers. Therefore:
+ Gi1/1: 36 (Hex) = 00110110 (Bin) -> Bits 3, 4, 6, 7 are chosen
+ Gi1/2: 84 (Hex) = 10000100 (Bin) -> Bits 1, 6 are chosen
+ Gi1/3: 16 (Hex) = 00010110 (Bin) -> Bits 4, 6, 7 are chosen
Therefore if the RBH is 3, it will choose Gi1/1. If RBH is 4, it will choose Gi1/1 and Gi1/3 interfaces. If RBH is 6 it will choose all three above interfaces. And the bit sharing ratio is 3:3:2 (from “No of bits” column) hence two links has higher probability of getting utilized as compared to the third link.
Question 2
Question 3
Explanation
All interfaces in an EtherChannel must be configured identically to form an EtherChannel. Specific settings that must be identical include:
+ Speed settings
+ Duplex settings
+ STP settings
+ VLAN membership (for access ports)
+ Native VLAN (for trunk ports)
+ Allowed VLANs (for trunk ports)
+ Trunking Encapsulation (ISL or 802.1Q, for trunk ports)
Question 4
Explanation
LACP is the IEEE Standard (IEEE 802.3ad) and is the most common dynamic Etherchannel protocol, whereas PAgP is a Cisco proprietary protocol and works only between supported vendors and Cisco devices.
Question 5
Explanation
There are two PAgP modes:
| Auto | Responds to PAgP messages but does not aggressively negotiate a PAgP EtherChannel. A channel is formed only if the port on the other end is set to Desirable. This is the default mode. |
| Desirable | Port actively negotiates channeling status with the interface on the other end of the link. A channel is formed if the other side is Auto or Desirable. |
The table below lists if an EtherChannel will be formed or not for PAgP:
| PAgP | Desirable | Auto |
| Desirable | Yes | Yes |
| Auto | Yes | No |
What is the status of port-channel if LACP is misconfigured?
A. Forwarding
B. Enabled
C. Disabled
D. Errdisabled
Hi can you please explain why C is the answer and not D
@Tomorrow Exam the answer is C which is Disabled
@9Tut what is the correct answer for 4th question is it Disabled state or Errordisabled state.
Torrow exams, the Errdisabled is a port-security violation state, which you will get when you configure port security with security violation on a switchport.. The etherchannel port will be disabled if the parameters of LACP configuration are not met at both ends.. Exam when bot end of the link are configure with passive, the LACP link is disabled.. so we have port status in LACP as diasbled, Passive, Active en on. where on-on will active the link, Active-passive will activate the link .
Can someone explain this
Refer to the exhibit. While troubleshooting a switch, you executed the “show interface port-channel 1 etherchannel” command and it returned this output. Which information is provided by the Load value?
