Summit Switch & Cisco Etherchannel

Has anyone connected the Summit Switch and Cisco Etherchannel.

After checking the CCO, cisco etherchannel must establish an Etherchannel connection with a third-party SWITCH. LACP is based on the 802.3ad standard.

The link is SUMMIT5i. The Feature of 5i supports IEEE 802.1ad compatible link aggre gation (CISCO is Etherchanne and SUMMIT is link aggregation, also called sharing-group ), but our firmware is 6. xx. For 802.1AD, It is draft, and a new firmware is 7.0.0, which supports IEEE 802.1ad.
The experiment was successful. Although there are many differences between summit5i and cisco etherchannel, some experiments have produced good results.

The above two etherchannels are not packet loss under CISCO's sweep ping.

However, if you set channel-group 5 mode XX to another image [active, passive], packet loss occurs, not to mention [auto, desirable], which is not supported at all.

This is a brief introduction.
