I want to do L3 etherchannel between 3550-12g and 6509 for redundancy.Can I do this?
thanks! any comment is apprecatied.
3550-12g-(g0/1,g0/2)----------(4/1,4/2)--6509
6509:
set port channel 4/1-2 10
set port channel 4/1-2 mode on
set vlan 10 4/1-2
6509 msfc:
int vlan 10
ip addr 10.1.10.253 255.255.255.0

3550-12g:
int port-channel 20
no switchport
ip addr 10.1.10.250 255.255.255.0
int g0/1
no ip addr
channel-group 20 mode on
int g0/2
no ip addr
channel-group 20 mode on

I think this configuration should work fine. Additionally you can add the following command to the 6509:

set port channel all distribution

With the above command, you have an option to load balance based on ip,mac, source, destination ... etc.
