Link Aggregation LAG
Hi, I'm starting on dell switching and I wonder if it is posible to create a link aggregation between a dell switch N3000 and a cisco switch core 4506E, thanks for your time.

Check out this paper. There is a section providing the steps to create the LAG you need.

Thanks Barret that was really helpful, but I've encountered with difficulties when I'm trying to set the ports to the LAG. The ports 31 and 32 of my cisco switch are the ones with the LAG connection, I get the following message when I'm trying to configure the channel group:
Gi4/24 LAN-EDV notconnect 1 auto auto 10/100/1000-TX

any ideas on how I can solve this, thank you very much!!

It seems you may be missing one or two commands. Try adding the following first:
switchport mode trunk
If that doesn't work, try changing the channel-group 1 mode active to
channel-group 1 mode on
Also, be sure you have the port-channel configured. Some switches require you define it separately:
interface port-channel 1

I've tried those commands and it didn't work, it give me the same message about a mismatch protocol, for a better understanding of the error here is the entire log:
