So if it's going to be Layer 3, you would just go into the port and type in the noswitchport command. Now, after we've done that, we need to go through the process and associate the member interfaces to the port channel interface. And so, what we'll do is we'll go like int gig 01, and then we'll run the command channel group. We'll assign it the ether channel ID and type mode on. And then what we'll do is once we have at least one interface on both sides configured, we're in good shape. Again, you can add in your interfaces. Now, generally, when you are adding in interfaces, is you want to do it in powers of two. So there'll be one, two, four, eight, et cetera. But we can talk…
