About this learning path

The EtherChannel Configuration Learning Path focuses on key concepts and protocols for link aggregation, including static EtherChannels, PAgP, and LACP, with a deep dive into LACP's advanced features. You'll begin by understanding how EtherChannels combine multiple physical links into a single logical connection to enhance bandwidth and redundancy. The path covers how to configure static EtherChannels for manual link aggregation, followed by PAgP for dynamic link aggregation in Cisco-only environments. You'll also explore LACP, an open standard protocol, and its advanced features such as negotiation modes, timeouts, and priority settings for optimizing link performance and fault tolerance. This learning path equips you with the skills to configure, manage, and troubleshoot EtherChannel setups, providing a strong foundation for advanced network design and troubleshooting.
