Port-channel question

[tklamb]

Is it possible to create a port-channel between 2 redundant 6513's (core) and a single 3750? If so how.

thx

Yes, assuming VSS is possible:

my engineer was talking aboot it being available on the 4500s soon...




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

Thanks, yes I am aware of the VSS possibilities... but we are not using VSS at this time. So I guess if there are no other possibilities I will just use STP.

Sadly, you are stuck with STP if your 6500s don't support VSS.

If they do support VSS, then it is definitely well worth the effort to plan a change/outage to implement it.

Follow the steps in this paper and it's quite straightforward.
