Trunk from E5412zl to Cisco 2960G

I need to create a trunk between these two switchs for one VLAN.  The only example I can find is for using MSTP which we are not using.  I want to make sure how to do this since the cisco switch is with the local university and we don't want to cause problems on their network when we implement this.

They have setup their end with the following config

 

interface GigabitEthernet0/43
description Link-to-SSMIC-Rack
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1
switchport mode trunk

 

I would assume we can use the following

 

trunk h1 Trk5 Trunk

untagged trk5

If thats the only config on their interface they will initially only send untagged traffic. The only think you'll need is 'untagged h1' under the vlan you want to untag in their direction.

 

A Cisco trunk is just a definition of an interface able to carry multiple tagged VLANs and has nothing to do with HPs Trunk-interfaces which is their name for etherchannel/LAG
