Correct answer & explanation
✓
Step 1: Create the port-channel interface. Step 2: Configure the port-channel interface (e.g., switchport mode). Step 3: Assign physical interfaces to the port-channel using the channel-group command. Step 4: Verify the port-channel status.
Port-channel creation involves interface creation, mode setting, member addition, and verification.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Step 1: Create the port-channel interface. Step 2: Configure the port-channel interface (e.g., switchport mode). Step 3: Assign physical interfaces to the port-channel using the channel-group command. Step 4: Verify the port-channel status.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first create the logical port-channel interface, then configure its properties, then add member interfaces, and finally verify the configuration.
- ✗
Step 1: Assign physical interfaces to the port-channel using the channel-group command. Step 2: Create the port-channel interface. Step 3: Configure the port-channel interface. Step 4: Verify the port-channel status.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot assign physical interfaces to a port-channel that has not been created yet; the port-channel interface must exist first.
- ✗
Step 1: Configure the port-channel interface. Step 2: Create the port-channel interface. Step 3: Assign physical interfaces to the port-channel. Step 4: Verify the port-channel status.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot configure a port-channel interface before creating it; configuration requires the interface to exist.
- ✗
Step 1: Verify the port-channel status. Step 2: Create the port-channel interface. Step 3: Configure the port-channel interface. Step 4: Assign physical interfaces to the port-channel.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because verification should be the final step after configuration; performing it first would show no port-channel exists.
