You're not terribly informative about what issue you have.  Do you 
wonder if it will work?  What makes you think it won't work?

The easiest way is to configure a static trunk on the Foundry switch 
(e.g. "trunk server ethe 1/1 to 1/2") and a static port-channel in the 
Cisco switch ("set trunk on" for the affected ports for CatOS, I think, 
or "channel-group 1 mode on" for IOS devices under the appropriate 
interface, and configure an IP address on interface Port-channel1).

This question may be better asked on cisco-nsp and/or foundry-nsp at 
puck.nether.net due to its highly operational character - much too 
close to the metal for the average NANOG list subscriber, I'm afraid.

HTH,
