There is no default protocol for etherchannel... etherchannel is etherchannel.<br />
If you mean a dynamic routing protocol (probably what you're seeing) then that's just RIP or EIGRP, or something like that - if you don't use it that doesn't matter.<br />
Cheers!<br />

One way to tell I guess is in your logs it'll say either &quot;PAGP-xxxx&quot; entries or &quot;LACP-xxxx&quot; entries depending on which is being used.

If you configure and etherchannel and set the mode to ON, for both sides what's the default protocol it uses? When I do a show etherchannel I just see a &quot;-&quot; for protocol.

What's the default protocol when you set etherchannel mode to ON

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
