Does 12.2(35) SE5 (3750-IPSERVICES-M) IOS support L3 port-channel?

[zdrepaul]

I have a stack of 2 3750(E)s with the "c3750-ipservices-mz.122-35.SE5/c3750-ipservices-mz.122-35.SE5.bin" image that will not allow me to assign an ip address to a port-channel interface.  Please help.

L3 port-channel does not exist.

Either assign the IP address to a VLAN that is trunked on the port-channel, or remove port-channel, disable switchport, assing different addresses to the multiple links.

The results will be very similar.

is there another version of IOS that i can download to support an l3 port-channel?  Because it does exist on my other network gear.  i could assign ip addresses to multiple ints creating point-to-point connections, however that's not the most desired way.  thank you.

L3 etherchannel does indeed exist. It allows you to bundle multiple physical links into one logical link and then assign an IP address to that logical link -

6500 L3 etherchannel

I should have said, does not exist on the 3750.

Not a big deal considering you have two alternative methods to achieve the same.

Trouble is it does exist on the 3750 -

agree that you could use SVI with L2 access ports but then you are not removing STP from the links.

Can you post relevant config.

I meant could you actually post the config off the switch.

i don't think the config is going to help us figure this one out; i think it has to with the version of ios the switch is running.

[Jon Marshall]

Have you configured "no switchport" under the port-channel interface ie.

int po22

no switchport

ip address .....

THAT WAS IT!!!!!  thank you so much!!!!!

[Jon Marshall]

No problem, glad to have helped.
