    I was wondering if the configuration is this one before putting it

    Actual config is

    Core is a alcatel switch which i got a static link aggregation configured

    On the 7210 i got this

     

    interface port-channel 3
        add gigabitethernet 0/0/0
        add gigabitethernet 0/0/1
        trusted
        trusted vlan 1-4094
        switchport mode trunk
        switchport trunk allowed x,y,z

    Now we are putting a 5406

    trunk C11-C12 trk3 lacp
trunk C9-C10 trk4 lacp

    My question is if i should use lacp at the end or trunk, im thinking it lacp but im not sure

     

    Cheers

    Carlos

    Lacp correct, in recommend always use lacp because its a ieee standard.

    Dont confuse at the term “trunk”, i

    Trunk on a aruba switch we means to aggeregate interfaces. But trunk isnt a ieee standard and work different betweens vendors, so use always lacp if you cab because its a ieee standard.

    Trunk on aruba controllers, hpe a-series and cisco switches we mean with trunk that there are more vlans tagged on a interface. Do this have nothing to do with aggregate interfaces.

    Conclusion.... your right to use lacp as you did.
