Will Intel Link Aggregation work with Cabletron/Enterasys switches?

I'm wondering if Intel Link Aggregation (either through Intel Pro 100/S dual port NIC or dual gigabit ports through 82546EB on-board controller) will work with non-Intel switches. We are using Cabletron SSR6000 chassis with 6H252-17 fast ethernet blade.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Link Aggregation can be accomplished on the downstream without any switch/hub support. What this will mean is you will have Nx100Mbit/s speeds output from your server (N being number of NICs in the server)

Without Switch support your upstream or your input to the server is limited to just one NIC to avoid arp loops.

So in a scenario where you have Two Pro 100 NICS in the server you would have an effective downstream of 200Mbit/s or 400Mbit/s Duplexed and a upstream bandwidth of 100Mbit/s or 200Mbit/s Duplexed

With a supported switch with FEC or GEC you will be able to have symmetric upstream and downstream.
