LACP is supported everywhere, but if you're doing to do LACP + 
vlan-tagging on the AE you need at least an FPC-E. Original FPCs on 
classic martini architecture (M5-M160) will do one or the other, but not 
both simultaniously.

Also, my random tidbit of advice for the day... Don't configure native 
vlan tagging on a Cisco and then try to speak LACP to a Juniper, it will 
try to tag the LACP control packets with the native vlan ID and confuse 
the hell out of the Juniper. :)
