Questions answered in these manuals
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.
