VLAN and Link-Aggregation Interoperability ArubaOS-switch and Cisco IOS

This document compares VLAN and link aggregation configuration and terminology between ArubaOS switches and Cisco IOS devices. It discusses switch port roles including end user ports, IP phone ports, server ports, and switch-to-switch ports. It also covers terminology differences for these port roles between the platforms. Finally, it provides examples of VLAN and static and dynamic link aggregation configuration on both ArubaOS switches and Cisco IOS devices.
