EtherChannel Configuration & Verification Made Easy! (LACP + 802.1Q Trunking Lab)

Welcome back to NETCAD! 🚀 In this hands-on lab, we configure and verify Layer 2 EtherChannel using the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP - IEEE 802.3ad) on Cisco Catalyst 2960 switches in Cisco Packet Tracer. Learn how to bundle multiple physical links (FastEthernet 0/1 - 0/3) into a single logical Port-Channel, configure it as an 802.1Q trunk, and verify the status to avoid common Spanning Tree (STP) blocked port issues. 📥 DOWNLOAD THE STARTER & COMPLETED .PKT LAB FILES: 👉 https://drive.google.com/drive/folder... ========================================= ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction & EtherChannel Overview 01:10 - Lab Tasks & Topology Breakdown 02:30 - Task 3.1: Configure SW1 Interfaces (LACP Active) 04:15 - Task 3.2: Configure SW2 Interfaces (LACP Active) 05:45 - Task 3.3: Configure Port-Channel 1 as Trunk 07:20 - Verification: show etherchannel summary & port-channel 08:40 - Outro & What's Next (Inter-VLAN Routing) ========================================= 💡 COMMANDS USED IN THIS LAB: SW1/SW2: interface range fastEthernet 0/1 - 3 SW1/SW2: channel-group 1 mode active SW1/SW2: interface port-channel 1 SW1/SW2: switchport mode trunk Verification: show etherchannel summary Verification: show interfaces trunk Verification: show etherchannel port-channel 🔔 Subscribe to NETCAD for practical CCNA 200-301 labs and visual networking tutorials: 👉    / @netcadit   #CCNA #Cisco #EtherChannel #LACP #PacketTracer #Networking #CiscoCommands #NETCAD #CCNA200301
