What protocols can be used to form EtherChannels dynamically?
You can use the Port Aggregation Control Protocol (PAgP) or the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to form EtherChannels dynamically.
From: Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series EtherChannel Configuration Guide
Can PAgP and LACP protocols interoperate with each other?
No, PAgP and LACP do not interoperate; ports configured for one cannot form an EtherChannel with ports configured for the other.
