etherChannel

Link aggregation allows the creation of logical links that are

composed of two or more physical links. This provides
increased throughput beyond using only one physical link. Link
aggregation also provides redundancy if one of the links fails.
In this lab, you will configure EtherChannel, a form of link
aggregation used in switched networks. You will configure
EtherChannel using Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) and Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
