CCNA 200-301: Configuring Layer 2 and Layer 3 EtherChannel

[@eric_b_]

I just found your channel.. and I'm soo glad I did. I have been studying for the CCNA for weeks now, and I'm brushing on performing CLI configurations. This made so many things make sense in a way that they had not yet. So well explained. I really appreciate your delivery of the material. Thank you so much.

Hey thanks for watching and im happy to hear you found it helpful. Im going to be doing some more configuration related videos for the ccna soon. Are you using packet tracer to practice labs? Best of luck on your studies.

[@eric_b_]

@NetworkEngineerPro Thanks for the reply! Yes, I am using packet tracer. I've been downloading files that came with the Odom cert guide and playing around with making some topologies. I want to be overly prepared, and the sims worry me. Best wishes.

Great explanation and great content! Taking the CCNA exam soon and this makes it easier to understand!

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Thanks so much for the feedback and thanks for watching. Best of luck on your exam , go and crush it!

12:30 - L3 Etherchannel, awesome vid plz make more.

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Thanks I’m glad you liked it. More content coming soon!

[@emekaonyekwe4558]

Hi, you didnt mention the interfaces has to be shut to configure etherchannel on each switch

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

For example if you want to make sure LACP/PAgP messages don't go across the link until you're ready then you can shut them down but it's not a requirement.

[@shinon9070]

you are much better than my lecturer

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Thank you so much im glad it was helpful, where are you in your CCNA journey?

[@redhippieful]

Thank you so much for this lesson! It's all I needed in one video :)

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

You’re very welcome, glad it was helpful!

[@Madannies]

You’re really a good teacher👌🏿

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Thank you so much.

[@AzmiBesar]

Very good content. Easy to understand!

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Thanks a ton. Im glad you found it helpful.

[@thepuldarshana9056]

Hi, when you make it layer 3 ether channel , cant we configure loadbalance ? , i mean doesnt ether channel support load balance ?

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Hi, yes it does.

[@hayasemaho7666]

Awesome video, very simple and easy to understand. I wonder if you can do HSRP next!! or have a video that combines all your teachings so far

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Thanks for watching, much appreciated. I’ll do HSRP next.

[@inspiringminds7284]

I love your video's so well done in explaining it's like you remember how it is to be new at this and are able to bridge the gap between advanced and simplicity! Are you using eve ng? What cisco switches are you using here?

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Thank you so much, that means a lot. I definitely remember when I started and I always try to explain it in a way that would have helped me learn it the simplest. Its motivating to hear it helps others. So in this video I'm not using EVE-NG, mainly because the "test etherchannel load-balance" command at 21:31 wasn't available on my IOSv switches. I am using a physical pair of Cisco Catalyst 1000's. Thanks for watching!

[@MickymaxSP]

Do you know why L3 etherchannel it isnt working with IOUs? :(

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Hi Miguel, it should. What specifically isn't working? The port-channel not up , cant ping across ?

[@MickymaxSP]

@@NetworkEngineerPro oh okay, my bad, the port-channel is set up, but i can't ping across. Is there a solution for it?

[@eternalblue4660]

@@MickymaxSP did you enable ip routing on the L3 switch? Go into global config and type "ip routing" As mentioned in the video as well, prior to the etherchannel bundle you must tell the range of ports/interfaces that they are not a "switchport", once that is done and all of the ports are not switchports only then can you bundle them in a L3 etherchannel.

[@iiN1GH7M4R3ii]

awesome explanation, thank you!!!

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Hi Alex, thanks for watching I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@st10689]

Hey, very good explanation of the topic. Good work. I have one question. When you configure IP to the EtherChannel does that IP applies to all four interfaces? I mean all four interfaces will have that same IP address or not? Like the allowed vlan command you typed for the layer 2 portchannel and all member interfaces got configured with that command.

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Hi Stefanos, when it comes to L3 port-channels the IP address only applies to the logical port-channel interface. The physical members will not get an IP assigned. Good question !

[@xmaxlimax]

Great video!
