EtherChannel memungkinkan beberapa tautan Ethernet fisik digabungkan menjadi satu tautan logis. Jika sebuah segmen dalam EtherChannel down, lalu lintas yang sebelumnya dibawa melalui tautan yang down beralih ke yang tersisa segmen dengan di EtherChannel. Konfigurasi Etherchannel terbagi menjadi tiga jenis yaitu :
- LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol)
- PAgP (Port Aggregation Protocol)
- Manual
Pada postingan kali ini akan dijelaskan bagaimana mengkonfigurasi ketiga jenis etherchannel tersebut menggunakan aplikasi cisco packet tracer.
Topologi

Masing – masing mempunyai kegunaan dan fungsi sesuai protokol yang dipakai. Jika masih ada penjelasan yang kurang jelas bisa ditanyakan pada kolom komentar dibawah.
