1.15 Layer 3 EtherChannel
Hi all,
I am using v5.019 for this workbook.
In the 1.15 Layer 3 EtherChannel task there are no instruction to either use no protocol or LACP/PAgP.
It only says "Ensure reachability is obtained between SW4 and SW2 over the segment". I have therefore chosen NOT to use LACP/PAgP for this Port-Channel.
However when I check the solution it says "Use an industry standard protocol to negotiate the Port-Channel configuration".
My questions are therefore:
1- During the real exam LAB, if I choose the same method (channel-group mode on) will I be granted points assuming pings are crossing the Po24 and all links are up in the aggregate ?
2- When the instructions do not mention a specific way to configure the port-channel (On, LACP, PAgP) which method should I select?
Thanks,
Yann

Yann,
If the task instruction does not specify or hint at the method to use to set up an EtherChannel interface, then using LACP, PAGP or manual configuration would be equally acceptable.
I think it's an error in the workbook. They forgot to include "Use an industry standard protocol to negotiate the Port-Channel configuration" in the question but they have it in the solution.
