Which command initiates the process to bundle two physical interfaces into an EtherChannel group using LACP?

• A. bundle interface range GigabitEthernet0/4-5
• B. interface range GigabitEthernet0/4-5
• C. config interface GigabitEthernet0/4-5
• D. channel-group 1 mode on

Answer: (B)

The command that initiates the process to bundle two physical interfaces into an EtherChannel group using LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is the one that begins the selection of the specific interfaces for configuration. Using the "interface range" command allows you to specify multiple interfaces in a single command, which is essential for efficiently configuring EtherChannel. When you enter the "interface range GigabitEthernet0/4-5" command, you are entering the interface configuration mode for both GigabitEthernet0/4 and GigabitEthernet0/5 simultaneously. This is the first step necessary before you can configure the parameters for EtherChannel. After this command is issued, you would typically follow up with additional commands, such as setting the mode of the channel using "channel-group" and specifying the LACP mode, but the initial command to select the interfaces is critical as a first step. This makes the option regarding the "interface range" command the correct way to start configuring an EtherChannel using LACP.
