HAs anyone gotten a trunk to work between a 3com (either a 3300xm or a Switch 630) and a Cisco 2924xl?
What did it entail? what standard was used? etc...etc...
I'm having some troubles with it, I actually suspect it's the Cisco.
Depends what you mean. "Trunk" is the most overused/misused word in this business. In terms of the IEEE, 802.1Q(VLAN tagging) defines any link carrying tagged frames as a trunk. 3COM refers to 802.3AD (Link Aggregation) as a trunk. Cisco refers to ISL links between switches as a trunk. Which trunk do you mean?
I think he means no VLAN Trunk. I think he means something like Etherchannel (up to 4 Fast Ethernet Links between Cisco & 3Com Switches). It´s called trunk at 3Com components.
We simply enable the port group (port group NUMBER on the fastethernet interfaces) on the two catalyst 3524XL ports, and the port trunk (feature->trunk->addport from the CLI) on the two superstack 3300 ports... Nothing more. It seems that the two implementations are compatible.
