Configuring Etherchannel in Catalyst Express 500 and servers

[elias.fernandez]

I tried to connect a server with Portchannel (LACP 802.ad)to a Catalyst Express 500, but it does not work. If the Catalyst Express is conected to the another switch by a Portchannel, it works OK, but, If a server with 2 ethernet interfaces in etherchanel is connected, it does not work. Do you know if this enviroment is supported?

Catalyst Express 500 ports can be configured for SPAN only by using the Cisco Network Assistant (CNA). Complete these steps to configure the SPAN:

An EtherChannel is a group of two or more Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet switch ports bundled into a single logical link, creating a higher bandwidth link between two switches. The switch supports up to six EtherChannels.
