We have a hybred network and have sucessfully Etherchanneled a Foundry BI
with a Cisco 5505 on two Gigabit uplinks.
1st, your Cisco device must do 802.1q. And the other device should be able
to adapt to Multiple instance of Spanning Tree.

Hi
I don't know about a Gigabit link but I tried
a trunking between BayStacks 250T and a Cisco5005
It doesn't work. It seems that what BayNetwokrs understands with trunking
is Etherchanel for Cisco. ANyway there are some problems with STP
because Cisco maintains one STP machine per VLAN but Bays have one STP
machine
for the whole switch.
Take care
HTH

Subject: BAY stack Switches and Cisco 4006 issue - NB!! [7:1067]
Hi all,
A client of ours want to implement the Cisco 4006 as a concentration point
with layer 3 capabilities. This is not a problem. What he wants to do
however is to have each BAY switch stack with 2x 1 gig connections as a sort
of " Etherchannel" - an effective single 2 gig connection. Now I know that
Etherchannel is a Cisco proprietary protocol, but is it compatible with a
similar BAY standard....my guess is that it is not. If we go ahead with this
implementation then the Cisco switch will see one of the two gig connections
as being redundant and disable it with spanning tree.....
Is there a work around for this, apart from selling some Cisco switches as
well !!???
Thanks in advance
