Hi,
The 2k interfaces are for host/server connectivity.
so long as that switch is treated as host, it should work
Host Interfaces
Host interfaces are for host or server connectivity only; host interfaces cannot connect to another network. These interfaces are always enabled as edge ports; as they come up, these ports immediately transition to the forwarding state. Host interfaces are always enabled with BPDU Guard. If a BPDU is received, the port is immediately placed in an error-disabled state which keeps the link down.
You can enable host interfaces to accept Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) packets. This protocol only works when it is enabled for both ends of a link.
