Hi all,
I was trying to create port channel on 4507
I config 2 ports as trunk ports and ran this command
channel-group 10 mode active and got the error below
Command rejected (Port-channel10, Gi1/1): Either port is L2 and port-channel is
L3
Command rejected (Port-channel10, Gi1/1): Either port is L2 and port-channel is
L3
Can someone please tell me about this error and how to fix it?

Hi Mahesh,
Try these command under each interface:
Switch(config)# interface range fastethernet 5/4 - 5 (Note: Space is mandatory.)
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# no ip address
Switch(config-if)# channel-group 1 mode desirable
Switch(config-if)# end

Hi Reza,
I was trying to create port channel between 3560 and 4507 .
on 3560 i did
int port-channel 10
switchport mode trunk
int gi0/1 and gi0/2
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 10 mode active
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
4507
int gi0/1 and gi0/2
switchport mode trunk
whenever i type command channel-group 10 mode active it gave me error as i told earlier
as soon as i did
no switchport
no ip address it worked ok.
now both ports are in portchannel.
So this was the issue.
Seems on 4507 we need to create either layer 2 or layer 2 port channel.
when i type no switchport then on 4507 the port channel changed to type layer 3.
Thanks
