TRUNKING
The way you have done it will work however you should configure it this way:
1. Shut down the interfaces that are going to be in the channel 2. Issue the channel group command on each interface 3. No shut the interfaces 4. Get into interface configuration mode on the port-channel (”interface po25″) 5. Issue the switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q command 6. Issue the switchport mode trunk command.
Logical configurations should be made on the port-channel. When this is done the interfaces in the port-channel will inherit the logical configurations.

Hi,
I would like to understand ; if my interface configuration is
interface fa 0/1 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport mode trunk chanel-group 25 mode on
The above creates a port-channel 25,
do I need to add the following to the port-channel 25 based on my interface config,
Interface port-channel 25 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport mode trunk
