Hi guys ,
im need some help here, i trying to connect two switches to gather with 2 up links cable , first switch L3 ( 3750 ) , i will connect this L3 switch to other Cisco switch (3850) .
i need how to configure ports on both .
Many thanks

Can you post the config from both switch ports, there should be 4 ports, 2 on each switch?
"yes , but not redundancy , i want use two ports as one link , i mean i want Cisco see the 2 ports as one port to get 2 G instead 1 G. "
You will get redundancy by default, if one link in the portchannel were to fail then the other would carry on passing traffic.
FYI, you don't get 2Gb of bandwidth per host.
You do get 2Gb of bandwidth total between the switches but each host will only be able to use 1Gb maximum.

I suspect you want to configure a Portchannel and use two wires for redundancy. Is this true?

yes , but not redundancy , i want use two ports as one link , i mean i want Cisco see the 2 ports as one port to get 2 G instead 1 G.
is this right ?
and im sorry for bad language , im not perfect in English .

Configuration is pretty straightforward on both SWs:
interface Port-channel_you pick the ID
switchport trunk allowed vlan all
switchport mode trunk
!
interface one
switchport trunk allowed vlan all
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active
!
interface two
switchport trunk allowed vlan all
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode active
But I suggest you to prior read some articles about LACP and Cisco port channel as you might damage your current network configuration.

thanks ,
i get this error message :
Command rejected: An interface whose trunk encapsulation is "Auto" can not be configured to "trunk" mode.
i try this steps before but the same error.

Just add switchport trunk encapsulation 802.1q before.

Unfortunately , i do the below steps , but still no any connection between two switches . when i type : show cdp nei , no any link show !!! what is this mean ?

Yes , the below is config for L3 switch (3750) for :
interface Port-channel11
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/21
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 11 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/22
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 11 mode active
if you need other switch config, feel free to tell me that.

Presumably the other switch is configured the same?
Can you post the results of the following:
#show int trunk
#show etherchannel summary
Thanks

Yes, other switch (3850) the same

From the last status message, it indicates port-channel 11 is (D) or down. Can you shut down interface po11 on one of them and re-enable, and report what error messages there may be in the log, as to why the LACP wasn't enabled?
Also, it is odd that you don't get a CDP neighbor on the ports - it's possible you don't have CDP enabled; or there is a physical cabling issue (or SFP issue). What do you get on gi 1/0/21 and 22 when you so "sh int status gi 1/0/21"?

Firstly the the current status unplug cable because avoid and loop may be accured, cause am in live inviroment , the the CDP is enabled but , the last status the CDP neighbor discover 2 cables , but there is loop or any thing because high ping and disconnection between switches ,

port is down now to avoid any loop , this configuration is true ?
if you need any accesss to this switch let me know, i need solve this problem.
