In this course, you'll learn how the Link Aggregation and Control Protocol is used to create bundles of Ethernet links and how these bundles can trick Spanning Tree Protocol into not blocking links between devices. You'll also learn how LACP makes it simple to form the EtherChannel itself. You'll then move on to explore Virtual Port Channels, including how they are an opportunity to eliminate STP from your network and how you can create a port channel between three devices instead of just two. This course is one in a collection that helps prepare learners for the 350-601 Implementing Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) certification exam.
