[c-nsp] err-disable state on a cisco 3750 catalyst

[Nick Cutting]

We have similar command on the Brocade side, not the cisco side and have had no issues:

interface Port-channel 3
 description L2 Transit to Cisco-Kit
 no ip address
 portmode hybrid
 switchport
 no spanning-tree pvst err-dis cause invalid-pvst-bpdu 
 no shutdown

Yes, I was very surprised. We are rolling out some Brocade ICX 7k units. If you LACP one of those to a Cisco, this will happen. I have observed it with ICX 7750 and 7450, as well as Catalyst 3850 and 6700.
