Hi,

I think the simplest way to do this is to remove the Ether-channel configuration completely and prune the unneeded vlans from the trunks on both sides of the links:

interface fa0/1

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,3,5,7,9

interface fa0/2

switchport trunk allowed vlan 2,4,6,8,10

Cheers:

Sure.

I suggest you to do it out of working hours, so the users are not affected by the change during their operation.
