Hi,

You can simply change the mode under the port-channel interface:

interface Port-channel x

switchport mode dynamic desirable

BR,

this is an active channel, if i config one side won't it drop before i can config the other side?

Hi,

Technically speaking, there should be no problem, since as a DTP rule a trunk can be established if one side is desirable and the other side is either Trunk, Desirable or Auto, accordingly i don't believe that there is going to be any service disruption.

BR,

Mohammed Mahmoud.
