aggregating bandwidth from 2 Cisco 3020's to 2 HP 2824 Procurves

Cisco defualt mode should be desirable, not sure on the Procurve side, I would sugges Cisco as Channel-Group X mode active and lacp active on Procurve

What about STP? Should the LACP configuration not cause STP to disable the trunk ports?

[Lmm_1]

If there is 1 single channel created between the switches there is no reason for STP to block the ports, and as I said before, if you only use, 1 channel for each cisco to each procurve and the croslinks are disabled (Cisco port 23 and 24), there are no redundant paths so there is no need of STP on the cisco switch.

Last Question and then I have a plan to implement. You mentioned putting each cisco to each procurve on a Channel. Just for clarification purposes is it:

3020-1 > HP-1 = Channel 5
3020-2 > HP-2 = Channel 5

OR

3020-1 > HP-1 = Channel 5
3020-2 > HP-2 = Channel 6

Both will work, it could use the same name since are on different switches
