What is the default EtherChannel protocol configuration on a typical Layer 2 Cisco switch?

Default EtherChannel Configuration

What is Cisco EtherChannel?

EtherChannel is a port link aggregation technology or port-channel architecture used primarily on Cisco switches. It allows grouping of several physical Ethernet links to create one logical Ethernet link for the purpose of providing fault-tolerance and high-speed links between switches, routers and servers.
