Issues Changing Cisco Port to Switchport
Hello Experts,
When I paste the following config (see at end of discussion) I keep on getting the error message 'Command rejected: Not a switchable port'
interface Port-channel2
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
no shutdown
Router(config)#interface Port-channel2
Router(config-if)# switchport
Command rejected: Not a switchable port.
Then when I enter configure the actual interface I get the following error:
Router(config-if)#int eth 1/1
Router(config-if)#interfac
Router(config-if)# switchport
Router(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Router(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Router(config-if)# duplex auto
Router(config-if)# channel-group 2 mode passive
Command rejected (Et1/1): Either port is L2 and port-channel is L3, or vice-versa
Now, this occurs only when I paste the entire config as follows:

I should mention that the configs work fine when I built them from scratch. I only have problems when pasting the whole configs in one shot.
My guess is that switch doesn't like the port-channels to be pasted in before the actual configs for the actual interface - but thats just a wild guess.
Can you please shed some light on the situation?

Configure the trunking on the physical interfaces and put those interfaces into the port-channel group.

jesper,
I think the problem was the fact that when pasting the configs I was pasting the configs for the logical interfaces before the configs for the actual interfaces

sure but you still don't need to define that information within the logical interface.
