Can interface port-channel run concurrently both L2 & L3.

MY team is doing migration at remote site. They have similar two C6509 connected back via fiber.

Before migration below is the command in Core 1;

When tried to configure a VLAN eg. 998 and configure int port-channel vlan 998 as below;

interface Port-channel1.998

description Migration VLAN

encapsulation dot1q 998

The question is we can't key in the encapsulation dot1q 998 and the switches comment that it's already existed.

Is there other command that might have left out or the int port-channel just support L3 subinterface only and not L2 subinteface.

Sounds like they already have Vlan 998 in use--perhaps an SVI? What is the output of "show ip int brief"?

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I did tried it personally in the lab and I got the following message;

PTT351.T01.08.DC.ED6(config-subif)#enc dot1Q 998

Command rejected: VLAN 998 not available

Below cmd the complete "sh run" that I get my remote engineer to send to me;

!

For your information, there is no int vlan 998 created yet.

So I believed, the port channel can only have either L2 or L3 and can't support both together.

Thanks.
