Cisco Support

Level 1
We are going to aggregate two GIG ports of NCS router and connect to the Non -Cisco Layer 03 core switch stack. Please refer to the below mention diagram for more understanding

As per above diagram
Configuration already made on Cisco NCS 540 1 Router:
 
interface Bundle-Ether1
 description Link to HQ_LAN_CORE
 ipv4 address 172.16.7.161 255.255.255.248
 
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/18
 bundle id 1 mode active
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0/19
 bundle id 1 mode active
 
 
NCS router has been configured in the above manner and link aggregation has been configured in the same manner in the non cisco switch. But after connecting the cables, the gig ports of the router are up, but the ports of the non-cisco switch are not up. That mean port channel in operational between NCS router and non-cisco switch
 
Please note:  aggregate port of the non-cisco switch is in switch port state, but the NCS router's gig port are not specify as switchports 
 
What could be the issue, NCS router unable to aggregate their ports with layer 2 interface or if their any specific method to do that?
