An organization is implementing a routed core where two distribution switches are connected via two 10 Gbps links. The links must act as a single routed link with an IP address. The administrator has already created port-channel 1 and assigned an IP address. What must be done on the physical interfaces to complete the configuration?

Assign each physical interface an IP address in the same subnet.

Configure them with no switchport and channel-group 1 mode active.

Configure them with switchport mode trunk and allow all VLANs.

Enable LACP with the lacp rate fast command.

Which statement is true about a Layer 2 EtherChannel?

It requires an IP address on the port-channel interface to forward frames between VLANs

It uses routing protocols to load-balance traffic across the member links

It operates at Layer 2 and forwards frames based on MAC addresses, and it can be configured as an access or trunk port

It can only be configured as a trunk port, not as an access port

A network administrator is connecting two access switches with four 1 Gbps links. The goal is to increase throughput and provide redundancy without enabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) blocking on any of the links. The administrator configures all four interfaces on both switches with the same speed, duplex, and VLAN settings, then creates a port-channel. Which configuration step is required to ensure the links aggregate successfully?

Configure all four interfaces on both switches with the same LACP mode (active or passive).

Assign all four physical interfaces to the same VLAN and enable trunking on the port-channel interface only.

Use the channel-group 1 mode active command on all four interfaces of both switches.

Set the port-channel load-balancing method to src-dst-ip on both switches.

What is the primary purpose of configuring EtherChannel on a Cisco switch?

To allow multiple switches to share a single IP address for management purposes

To combine multiple physical links into a single logical link that provides higher bandwidth and redundancy

To enable routing between VLANs on a switch without using an external router

To provide security by encrypting traffic between two switches
