EtherChannel implemented by grouping multiple physical ports into one or more logical EtherChannel links. Interface types cannot be mixed. EtherChannel provides full-duplex bandwidth up to 800 Mb/s (Fast EtherChannel) or 8 Gb/s (Gigabit EtherChannel). EtherChannel can consist of up to 16 compatibly-configured Ethernet ports. The Cisco IOS switch currently supports six EtherChannels. PAgP Modes
This setting minimizes the transmission of PAgP packets. This mode is not supported when the EtherChannel members are from different switches in the switch stack (cross-stack EtherChannel).
This mode is not supported when the EtherChannel members are from different switches in the switch stack (cross-stack EtherChannel). Transport Network Design 9
LACP Modes
The on mode can be useful if the remote device does not support PAgP or LACP.

GLBP provides automatic device backup for IP hosts configured with a single default gateway on an IEEE 802. LAN. Multiple first-hop devices on the LAN combine to offer a single virtual first-hop IP device while sharing the IP packet forwarding load. The advantage of GLBP is that it additionally provides load balancing over multiple devices (gateways) using a single virtual IP address and multiple virtual MAC addresses. The forwarding load is shared among all devices in a GLBP group rather than being handled by a single device while the other devices stand idle. Each host is configured with the same virtual IP address, and all devices in the virtual device group participate in forwarding packets. GLBP members communicate between each other through hello messages sent every 3 seconds to the multicast address 224.0.0.102, UDP port 3222 (source and destination).
