This works fine. Use 802.1q as the VLAN trunking/tag protocol if you're doing a VLAN trunk between the switches. The native/default VLAN on both switch ports has to be the same VLAN.
If it's not a VLAN trunk, then you can just use a cross over cable between the two. I don't think link-aggregation (cisco fast etherchannel, nortels mlt) for combining more then 1 link into one shared pipe will work using the vendors propiertary protocols. Newer versions of the cisco code and nortel code I believe both support LACP for this so it should be fine on current releases. This may be for higher speed connections though. > > I have a project where I need to connect a Nortel > Passport 8600 > > to two Cisco 6500.
