Port-channel down down

[Carpua]

we just instatlled a core switch 6500 series but we are an enable to get the put channel up. i tried the no shutdown command but it ddint work. i also created a VLan which is all down and i can't get it up. below is the preview of the port_channel

are there any members in the port-channel ?
post a

sh run


also is this a PVC? (ie spanning across two switches) ...
actually post the shr un then we'll go further


We must go always forward, not backward
always up, not down and always twirling twirling towards infinity.

The first important bits to see would be the
show run po1
and a
show run int ????
&
show int ????
for each of the interfaces that are members of this port-channel.

I'm not sure if it's going to tell us anything useful, but a
show run int vlan ??
for each VLAN assigned to those interfaces might be good too, as well as a
show int vlan ????
for each of them.

If the ports in channel also say not connect then you have a physical layer issue .
