Hello,
Just need to know anyone has configure Cisco 4006 for L2 to interconnect with 3rd party switch ?
Any setting need to disabled activated normal spanning tree ?

What type of switch, and what type of connection (access, VLAN trunk)?
1) Manually set the speed and duplex on both switch ports.
2) Set trunking mode on Cisco to on or off. Desirable, etc use cisco only detection methods that other vendor switches don't know.
3) use 802.1Q (dot1q)
Normal spanning tree settings should be fine... unless you're using advanced settings like udld, etc. UDLD is cisco only.
This should give you a start. If you some more details on the connection, etc we may be able to give more info on what to look out for, etc.

Thanks for your reply.
The switch is a L3 switch(Passport 1200) with access
connection (a default VLAN)
The interconnection is GigaEthernet uplink
Does not sure whether trunking works well with Nortel switches
Appreciated your kind advice.

Hi,
This shouldn't be a problem at all. VLAN trunk/tag connection will be fine to as long as its 802.1q and you set cisco side to on (not auto, desirable, etc).
If you run into trouble, let me know. I work with passport/acclear stuff regularly so...
