EtherChannel is a Cisco technology that allows you to bundle multiple physical Ethernet interfaces into one logical interface and the bundle of ethernet interfaces is called Port-Channel. This gives: Higher Bandwidth → adds up the bandwidth of all bundled links. Redundancy & Fault Tolerance → if one link fails, traffic keeps flowing on the others. Load Balancing → distributes traffic across links. Simpler Management → several ports act as one logical interface. ** Channel Groups and Port-Channel Interfaces A channel group is the configuration command that bundles multiple physical interfaces into one logical EtherChannel and When you assign interfaces to the same channel group, they are automatically associated with a new logical interface called a Port-Channel.  ** EtherChannel Characteristics - Maximum 8 links can be bundled in one EtherChannel. All links in the channel must have: Same speed (e.g., all 1 Gbps). Same duplex mode. Same VLAN information (if on access mod...
