Static EtherChannel vs LACP vs PAgP: Which EtherChannel Mode Should You Use?

Static EtherChannel, LACP, and PAgP are three different ways to form an EtherChannel between switches. In this video, we compare mode on, LACP active/passive, and PAgP desirable/auto. You will learn which combinations work, which combinations fail, why LACP is usually preferred, and why mixing EtherChannel methods can cause problems. This video explains EtherChannel negotiation, Port-Channels, LACP, PAgP, static bundling, and common configuration mistakes.
