EtherChannel allows you to achieve greater speed by bundling Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet links, which makes a switch or router use the merged ports as a single port. This gives you the most bang for your buck from your port cost. EtherChannel uses a Cisco-proprietary hashing algorithm to achieve this link bonding. EtherChannel can be configured on many different switch platforms such as the 6500/6000, 5500/5000, 4500/4000, and 2950/2960 series. In this article, I'm going to focus on how to configure EtherChannel on the 2950/2960 line of switches because those are some of the most deployed and well-known platforms.
1 Cover the pot with a lid. 2  The length of time you boil the lobsters differs according to how much they weigh. A one-pound lobster should cook for 3 1/2 minutes, a 2-pound lobster for 5 1/2 minutes, and a 3-pound lobster for 7 1/2 minutes.  Submerge the parboiled lobster in an ice bath to stop the cooking.
YES. However, you will need to cook any dead lobster within 8 hours of discovering a lobster died. Remove the rubber bands from the claws of the dead (or suspected dead) lobster or cook it in a separate pot to distinguish it from the live lobsters.
