        switchport description
        port-license acquire
        channel-group <> force
        no shutdown

        repeat the config on remaining ports

         Interface port-channel<>
         Channel mode active
         switchport mode F
         switchport description <>
         switchport rate-mode dedicated
 
        Add ports to portchannel

        config t
