layer 3 between cisco and netgear

You can create Layer 3 vlans in cisco 6509 switch and make all NetGear switch as Layer2 switches.

Make the uplink port between netgear to 6509 as trunk and pass all vlans over the trunk,

L3 Vlan on 6509 Switch ---Trunk --> L2 Vlans on NetGear --> servers/workstations

Thanks. so what would the trunk port config on the cisco look like. as I would like to do LACP on the  uplinks

configure Layer2 vlan on the 6509 switch

config t
vlan 10
name <name of the vlan>
end

Configure Layer 3 vlan on the 6509 switch

int vlan 10
ip address 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.0
no sh
end

Configure LACP port channel on 6509 switch

config t
int <interface number>
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 10 mode active

int <interface number>
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 10 mode active

Once you done this step, automatically there will will be port-channel configured on the cisco 6509 switch

I am seeing the port channel as down

Interface port-channel 101
switchport
no ip address
end

You need to add the below command under port channel

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Switchport mode trunk

still the  same how odd.

Have you created L2 Vlan on the Cisco switch also have you created vlan and port channel on the netgear switch

Can u capture the below command output from CISCO switch

sh vlan
Sh int port-channel 101
