Experimental environment:

Experimental purpose:

1. Observe the STP status of the two switches.

2. Configure EtherChannel and add the physical port to the Channel.

3. Check the STP status of the two switches.

4. Whether the test is effective or not, one network cable is broken.

The steps of the experiment:

1. Observe the STP status of the two switches.

2. Configure EtherChannel and add the physical port to the Channel.

SW1 (config) # interface port-channel 1

SW1 (config-if) # exit

SW1 (config) #

SW1 (config) # int range fa0/1,fa0/2,fa0/3

SW1 (config-if-range) # channel-group 1 mode on

SW2 (config) # interface port-channel 1

SW2 (config-if) # exit

SW2 (config) #

SW2 (config) # int range fa0/1,fa0/2,fa0/3

SW2 (config-if-range) # channel-group 1 mode on

3. Check the STP status of the two switches.

4. Whether the test is effective or not, one network cable is broken.

The result is that there is no packet loss when the two machines PING each other, but the delay increases a little.
