A network engineer tries to configure storm control on an EtherChannel bundle.

What is the result of the configuration?
A . The storm control settings will appear on the EtherChannel, but not on the associated physical ports.
B . The configuration will be rejected because storm control is not supported for EtherChannel.
C . The storm control configuration will be accepted, but will only be present on the physical interfaces.
D . The settings will be applied to the EtherChannel bundle and all associated physical interfaces.

Answer: D

Explanation:

After you configure an EtherChannel, any configuration that you apply to the port-channel interface affects the EtherChannel; any configuration that you apply to the physical interfaces affects only the interface where you apply the configuration. Storm Control is an exception to this rule. For example, you cannot configure Storm Control on some of the members of an EtherChannel; Storm Control must be configured on all or none of the ports. If you configure Storm Control on only some of the ports, those ports will be dropped from the EtherChannel interface (put in suspended state). Therefore, you should configure Storm Control at the EtherChannel Interface level, and not at the physical interface level.
