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.
Reheat the lobster in the oven at 350 degrees. Begin by brushing it with butter and lemon juice, wrapping it in aluminum foil, placing the lobster in a baking pan and cooking it for 5 to 10 minutes until the internal temperature of the meat is 180 degrees.
