Nortel Passport to Cisco 6500 [7:69798]
I have a project where I need to connect a Nortel Passport 8600 to two Cisco 6500. What would be the best way to make connection? Thank you for any help.

I can't help you, but I have been told by a Nortel engenieer that they have tested that configuration in the lab and it worked (I think, they were using multitrunking in the 8600 and FEC in Catalyst) The only problem is that if you have a problem with that configuration, nor cisco or nortel will help you.

Fast Ethernet to both 6500's. Not sure exactly what the question is? Does the 8600 no have a Fast Ethernet card installed or is it OC3 or something.

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.

I am not sharing vlan information but we need the connection to connected to the rest of the company and the Internet. The problem that I have is the 6500's have two different ip addresses, could I make the connection with one vlan or two.
