EtherChannel” written on the bottom-left corner of the module (as you face it in the switch), which tells
you that the feature is supported. However, this convention was abandoned on later modules. The
modules in this test do not have “Fast EtherChannel” printed on them, but they do support the feature.

Step 3
Verify that the ports are connected and operational. Before connecting the cables, the port status is as
follows:
Switch-A
