Many thanks for everyones contribution on this issue. I forgot to mention
that
Spanning tree is not enabled. No tbeing too familiar with switches, I'm not
sure
on the effect of PAgP.

Larry,
two things that can cause the delay:
STP - Spanning Tree Protocol
Solution: 'set spantree portfast enable'
(Use it only on end-station ports)
PAgP - Port Aggregation Protocol
Solution: 'set port channel off'
(PAgP is enabled by default on EtherChannel capable links)
