Switch trunking (Cisco 2950 and HP 1800)

[DJ-CHRIS1]

So basicly, I have a 2950 (The 24 port 10/100 model) running IOS 12.1. I need to create a 200Mbps link between these two switches.

Both switches run the newest operating systems, im just wondering how to do this.

The HP 1800 supports trunking for sure, however I do not know if the other switch needs to support trunking.

Im not too familiar with that model, but at college they have a data port and we just put a crossover between those..

This is different, im basicly using two cables whereas you would only use one. I am doing this to doubble speed

Here's part of my show run, and im running bridging on the HP switch too. However it appears as it's just assigning each port half the mac addresses, and just simply grouping the ports together.

interface FastEthernet0/5
description HP-Switch-Trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1
switchport mode trunk
storm-control broadcast level 20.00
storm-control multicast level 20.00
storm-control unicast level 20.00
storm-control action shutdown
no cdp enable

interface FastEthernet0/6

DJ a "show interface x/x" will show what speed the port is set at. Default is Auto-mode

Their connected at 100mbps full duplex which is switch's highest.
