We are trying to configure Ether Channels on our ESW 540 switches. We have configured the port(s) and made the physical connections but the Ether channel is only showing up at 1000M. It is my understanding that the port should be displaying at 2000M if configed with one pair of ports. Are there any other settings that need to be completed?



Thank you,
Brock
 
Give us a "show interface" for each of the 4 physical interfaces and the two port-channel interfaces.

A show int on the port channel will give you the speed/duplex setting that applies on all members of the channel-group, eg
"Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s"

A little higher in the output, it should give you the aggregate size of the link:
"MTU 1500 bytes, BW 2000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,"

If there's any mismatch in speed/duplex of VLAN configuration between the members of the port-channel or between the physical interfaces and the port-channel interface, the port-channel will not come up.
 
Unless I am not aware of it, ESW 540 do not actually give you the option to do a show int.. Below is how each port is configured..
