Etherchannel
netdiagram.docx
I don't have any experience with etherchannels but want to configure an etherchannel from L2 switchs to an L3 switch. The L3 switch is routing between two different VLANS. In order to do this would I need to set the virtual port to L2 or L3? (switchport or no switchport, assign an IP to the port on the L3 switch and no IP on the L2 port etc?)
Thanks for the help!

In this environment, I would go with a trunked L2 interface.

One more question about the current configuration. If I have the L3 switch sitting between the L2 switches, connected by etherchannel, to enable routing between the VLANS do I still configure an SVI with an IP on the interfaces? If so would that be applied on the logical port I created for the etherchannel bundles?
Thanks again for the help!

You would create an SVI on the L3 swtich for each VLAN you want to route between.
