What does On/FEC mean for your Etherchannel status? (Lab task 2.1)
So the Lab shows the EC state should be On/FEC, but I don't get that. I just get On for EC State.
Is this an IOS version issue?

Comments
Is Sw2 a 3560? There could be differences between the 3550/3560 or IOS versions. My 3550 in my home network uses a 4-port etherchannel to my 2924XL switches:
3550EMI#sh int po1 etherchannel
Age of the Port-channel = 42d:11h:01m:09s
Logical slot/port = 1/0 Number of ports = 4
GC = 0x00000000 HotStandBy port = null
Port state = Port-channel Ag-Inuse
Protocol = -
Ports in the Port-channel:
Index Load Port EC state No of bits
------+------+------+------------------+-----------
0 00 Fa0/21 On/FEC 0
0 00 Fa0/22 On/FEC 0
0 00 Fa0/23 On/FEC 0
0 00 Fa0/24 On/FEC 0
Time since last port bundled: 42d:11h:01m:04s Fa0/22
3550EMI#sh run int f0/21 (f0/22-24 are identical)

I manually set the speed and duplex on the ports.
