I just setup an etherchannel between two 2912XL's. I'm running IOS 11.2. I
searched CCO and could only find information on setting this up on set based
switches. Also the book I've been studying appears only to have the same
info. I set it up using the visual switch manager and it is working, however
I would think that I would need to be able to do this from the command line
also. Also in my studies on the BCMSN I had never heard of the visual switch
manager, so does that mean it is not on the test? Am I missing something?

The configuration of the 2900-XL series differs from the other switches.
What you have to do is the following:
interface fa0/1
switchport mode trunk
(switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q) - This is optional. You get ISL by
default.
port group 1
interface fa0/2
switchport mode trunk
(switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q) - This is optional. You get ISL by
default.
port group 1
Obviously, you must put at least two interfaces into the EtherChannel :-)
This is a useful starting point to find out more about configuring this type
of switch:
