  1. This should not be a problem. I did this with several other vendors (Foundry, HP, Extreme, ...) and Cisco should not be a problem, too.

    Don't rely 100% on the syntax, tho.

    conf t
    int g0/0
    desc Copper Port
    speed 1000
    duplex full
    channel-proto lacp
    channel-group 1 mode active
    exit
    int g0/1
    desc SFP
    channel-proto lacp
    channel-group 1 mode active
    end

    My experience with Cisco wants me to say that speed/duplex are all that should matter. However, I've yet to come across this type of setup so I cannot say with 100% certainty that IOS will allow it.
