check the etherchannel status

        I - stand-alone s - suspended
        H - Hot-standby (LACP only)
        R - Layer3      S - Layer2
        U - in use      f - failed to allocate aggregator
        M - not in use, minimum links not met
        u - unsuitable for bundling
        w - waiting to be aggregated

------+-------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------
1      Po1(RU)          -        Gi2/6(P)   Gi2/10(P)

see.. RU . it's a layer 3 port
by default, if you start the machine and you see the name is router> then, all ports are layer 3 port
if switch> then all ports are on switchport mode
just change to layer2 are switchport to solve this
>switchport on both Gi2/6, Gi2/10
>switchport on po 1
show etherchannel again
