I appreciate your information, Joseph. I guess my question was more toward the types of interfaces that will run etherchannel. i.e. if you're knocking the speed down on a FastEthernet interface to 10Mbps, it's still a FastEthernet interface, not Ethernet interface.
One of the requirements for an etherchannel bundle is that all of the ports (interfaces) in the bundle all be matching speed/duplex. So it would make sense that you could knock 100Mbps interfaces down to 10Mbps (as long as they all match) and it still work. But are they any Ethernet interfaces (not Fast- or Gig-Ethernet) on any Cisco devices that support Etherchannel. I'm thinking there's not, but that's not to say there's not some switch/router out there that may violate this Cisco "rule of thumb" (being you can only do EtherChannel on Fast- or Gig-Ethernet) Mike W.
