If you want to make an etherchannel you need first make they have the same interface capabilities, all of them need to be FastEthernet or GigaEthernet, same speed, duplex. So on your example I recommend FastEthernet only or GigaEthernet only. Now once they are equal interface, you can use, example:. Will I need to create seperate trunks/aggregated links on the other vlans, or by adding ports 22&24 to the other vlans, allow all traffic to go over the aggregated link, but still be segregated on its own vlan? Best practice / any advice appreciated. Hummm, this is an interesting setup. Lets be. In this article, I'm going to describe how to set up Link Aggregation between two managed switches to provide connectivity, redundancy, and expanded bandwidth. My plan was to have my three switches use all four of the 10Gb uplink ports to a fourth "aggregator switch" so that I'd have the necessary bandwidth for a total of 12 10Gb links to the aggregator. Aggregating multiple interfaces into a trunk to create a link has the following advantages: Link aggregation increases the bandwidth of the individual network interface. This document describes the configuration of Ethernet services, including configuring link aggregation, VLANs, Voice VLAN, VLAN mapping, QinQ, GVRP, MAC table, STP/RSTP/MSTP, SEP, and so on.
