2 hands-on PAgP scenarios you build in your own Cisco Modeling Labs instance and grade against the answer key. PAgP configuration and troubleshooting practice for CCNA and CCNP.
Hands-on CCNA EtherChannel repair lab. Two uplinks between a distribution and an access switch are intended to form a single port-channel trunk carrying VLAN 10. The starter ships with a real mode mismatch across the bundle and an allow-list error, so the Port-channel stays down and hosts cannot talk. Learners diagnose the symptom and standardize on one protocol family (PAgP, LACP, or Static) and correct trunking so VLAN 10 forwards end-to-end.
Build a Layer-2 PAgP EtherChannel between two ioll2-xe switches (SW1 and SW2) using a desirable/auto pairing on two parallel links. Bundle Ethernet0/0 and Ethernet0/1 into Port-channel 3, make the port-channel a VLAN 30 access interface on both switches, and verify with show etherchannel summary, show pagp neighbor, show pagp counters, and end-to-end host pings in VLAN 30.
