Hi,
I am configuring port-channel between two switches. Is it necessary to use SAME Ether-channel NUMBER on both switches?

Hello Rupesh,
it is not needed but it can be handy to help reading configurations
Hope to help

I agree it does not need to match but from a troubleshooting point of view it is a lot easier to know that say port channel 15 lines up with port channel 15 on the other end . We have gotten in situations where they did not line up in say bladeserver installs and its a real pain determining what goes where at times and you end using cdp and other things to figure that out and it takes time.
