Here are the steps to configure the required port channel and VLAN settings on Switch A:
SwitchA# configure terminal
SwitchA(config)# interface port-channel 10
SwitchA(config-if-po10)# switchport mode trunk
SwitchA(config-if-po10)# switchport trunk native vlan 1
SwitchA(config-if-po10)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10
SwitchA(config)# interface ethernet 1/11
SwitchA(config-if-eth1/11)# channel-group 10 mode active
SwitchA(config-if-eth1/11)# exit
SwitchA(config)# interface ethernet 1/12
SwitchA(config-if-eth1/12)# channel-group 10 mode active
SwitchA(config-if-eth1/12)# exit
SwitchA(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
SwitchA(config-if-eth1/1)# switchport mode trunk
SwitchA(config-if-eth1/1)# switchport trunk native vlan 1
SwitchA(config-if-eth1/1)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10
SwitchA(config-if-eth1/1)# end
SwitchA# write memory
Comprehensive Detailed Step by Step Explanation with References:
Enter Configuration Mode:
Create Port Channel 10:
Enter the port channel interface configuration mode using interface port-channel 10.
Set the port channel to trunk mode with switchport mode trunk.
Specify VLAN 1 as the native VLAN (untagged) using switchport trunk native vlan 1.
Allow VLANs 1 and 10 on the trunk with switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10.
Assign Interfaces Eth 1/11 and Eth 1/12 to Port Channel 10:
Enter interface configuration mode for ethernet 1/11 and ethernet 1/12.
Assign each interface to port channel 10 using the channel-group 10 mode active command.
Exit the interface configuration mode.
Configure Interface Eth 1/1 for Server Connection:
Enter interface configuration mode for ethernet 1/1.
Set the interface to trunk mode with switchport mode trunk.
Specify VLAN 1 as the native VLAN using switchport trunk native vlan 1.
Allow VLANs 1 and 10 on the trunk with switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10.
Exit the configuration mode.
