350-601: Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core TechnologiesDemo

A switch-to-switch Fibre Channel SAN port channel uses a SAN port-channel interface configured as an E port. Because the link carries VSANs 1 and 100, trunking must be enabled. Active channel mode provides SAN PortChannel protocol negotiation and matches the active configuration required for this connection. Cisco documents channel mode active for SAN PortChannels and identifies E ports as the switch-to-switch port type; when trunking is enabled, the E-port link operates as a TE trunk.
