Re: Proliant GbE2 vs Cisco IOS

I believe you need to set the Cisco to mode 'on' instead of 'desirable'.

Have a look through this document which gives some excellent information and configuration examples:

Deploying the ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Switch into a Cisco-based Network - HOW TO

Hi Adil.

I think you have to configure the Switch to use the standard Etherchannel Protocol (LACP), where PAgP is the default on Cisco Switches.
use:

Switch(config-if)# channel-group 12 mode active

Where the keywords {active and passive.} If you use LACP , and if you use PAgP, select the keywords {auto and desirable.}

Good Luck

If you weak in Cisco CLI use free switch management GUI. It is fast and easy (try it and you will like it).
