All right, welcome back everyone. ether channel, right? We're going to aggregate we're going to bring together different links right in our backbone. That way we can get more bandwidth out of it. So what are we going to talk about, we're gonna talk about obviously, how to aggregate and make it a single logical link. Right, you can go to eight ports to eight ports, and you can go you know, 16 gigabit 16 gigabits per second, but we'll say it all depends really, you're not gonna really get the whole throughput may be a little bit different.

But you definitely will get more than just you know, having a separate because remember all the things that we need to understand if we don't do either channel, which is throw, you know, links in our backbones. Just plug in more spanning tree Hello spanning trees there, so in a blog port, so we have to aggregate I can do this They all land or when you do that with PPP, right? Oh my god and telecommunications we put together PvP so many people wants together so they can get more bandwidth out of it. All right now there are negotiation protocols like pag p port aggregation protocol and lack fi, which is the link aggregation protocol. We'll talk about those. This is nothing new, you did this in the CCNA.

Alright, you've, you've heard about this, you've heard about this already. So it's a big no big deal. All the methods don't there's certain methods in there that you can put in to kind of tweak to see what is it that you how you want to handle it, especially for load balancing? Either channel configuration, we'll talk about what is it, you know, on the command so we can go ahead and do that. But again, no big whoop, whoops, I forgot my finger is working now. All right, then troubleshooting ether channel here.

We're just gonna take a look at some show commands. All right, so you can see if either channel is up is working and how You will look at it, that's about it. So that's what we're going to do in this particular section. I'll see you there.
