I had an outage between datacentres. I have a L2 gigabit link which is actually a member of an Etherchannel that is nailed up at both ends using "channel-group x mode on". There is only one member right now so a second link can be easily added in the future. Our provider did some "maintenance" and both ends of the channel err-disabled. When I tried to shut / no shut the link it kept immediately erroring out at both ends. I switched on some debugs at one site to investigate and received the below.

We do not use PAgP anywhere on our network. I think our provider reconnected our link into another customer of theirs somewhere and I was receiving their other customers PAgP packets. After a short while and they put me on mute so they could confir with their engineer (whilst this was going on I rebuilt the channels from scratch) then I was able to bring up both sides without any errors. They did not say if they did make a patch mistake or not but I think it looks that way?
