cisco WS-C4506 (MPC8245) processor (revision 7) with 262144K bytes of 
memory.

Last reset from Reload
9 Virtual Ethernet/IEEE 802.3  interface(s)
50 Gigabit Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 interface(s)
467K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.

Configuration register is 0x2102

on ServerIron's side I have:

trunk switch ethe 2/1 to 2/2
port-name "Goes to 2/10 of core" ethernet 2/1
trunk switch ethe 2/7 to 2/8
port-name "Goes to 4506" ethernet 2/7

and on Cisco side I have:

interface range GigabitEthernet2/3 - 4
switchport access vlan 55
switchport mode access
channel-group  1 mode passive -- tryed all possible modes actually.....
logging event link-status
load-interval 30
speed 1000
no qos

it doesn't work.
I have also tryed to configure port-channel interface.

interface Port-channel1
switchport
switchport access vlan 55
switchport mode access
load-interval 30

does not work either.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance. :-)
