Which two command sequences must be configured on a switch to establish a Layer 3 EtherChannel with an open-standard protocol? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is C. interface port-channel 10 D. interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1. The channel-group 10 mode active command configures the interface to participate actively in the LACP negotiation, which is the open-standard protocol for EtherChannel. - The no switchport command on the port-channel interface converts it to a Layer 3 routed interface, necessary

Explanation
- The channel-group 10 mode active command configures the interface to participate actively in the LACP negotiation, which is the open-standard protocol for EtherChannel. - The no switchport command on the port-channel interface converts it to a Layer 3 routed interface, necessary for Layer 3 EtherChannel. - Assigning an IP address to the port-channel interface enables routing over the EtherChannel. This configuration allows the switch to bundle multiple physical interfaces into a single logical Layer 3 link that supports LACP, ensuring compatibility with different vendors.
