Say we have a Cat3850 48x1G and a Nexus 3k. 24x10G
I have a connection between them and can verify that both are running 1G speed between links.
Is there a Cisco tech/feature where i can increase the speed between links without upgrading the devices? If not, what would be a better case scenario? Would etherchannel be a solution?

Hi there,
If you have a modular 3850 the obvious answer is to buy a 10g network module with SPF+ transceivers and connect them to the Nexus.
Since you don't want to buy additional hardware, your only other option as you mention is to aggregate as many as possible 1G connections between the two switches (which is 8 for the 3850, 16 for the n3k).
cheers,
Seb,
