You can use static port channels, with no associated aggregation protocol, for a simplified configuration.

The port channel stays operational as long as at least one physical interface within the port channel is operational. Port channeling also load balances traffic across these physical interfaces. You can bundle up to eight individual active links into a port channel to provide increased bandwidth and redundancy.
