[c-nsp] Cisco 6500 Port-Channel Problem.

[Alex Cruz Farmer]

Hi,

I've just tried to bring up a Port-Channel between two 6500s (Us -> Supplier), and received the 
following error:

Jul 19 18:16:55.829: %EC-SP-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: Gi5/8 is not compatible with Gi5/4 and will be 
suspended (Bcast Supp. Level of Gi5/8 is 100, Gi5/4 is 10000 )

I thought this may have been to do with some storm-control settings, but there isn't anything on the 
port which would affect it. Currently, the configuration is extremely basic, and I'm still having no 
joy.

Building configuration...
!
interface GigabitEthernet5/4
  description 1 - July 06
  no ip address
  no cdp enable
  channel-group 50 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet5/8
  description 2 - July 06
  no ip address
  no cdp enable
  channel-group 50 mode active
!
interface Port-channel50
  ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.252
end

It's running quite an old version of IOS, which could be the problem (c6sup22-ps-mz.121-20.E.bin).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Could changing the port-channel from routed to a 
switchport perhaps fix the issue?

Thanks in advance!
