3.7 Trunking
SS0224 provides port-based trunking function. The switch can support up to
12 different trunking groups. The members of each group can range from 2
to 8 and the only limitation is each trunk group can only include ports from
the same chip. In SS0224, port 1 ~ port 8 belongs to chip-0, port 9 ~ port 16
belongs to chip-1, and port 17 ~ port 24 belongs to chip-2. The 2-port trunk
group can provides bandwidth of up to 200Mbps, while 8-port trunk group
can provides bandwidth of even 800Mbps. Note that for every trunk group, a
corresponding forwarding table should be set up at the same time. The
forwarding table will tell SS0224 the traffic from other ports will be assigned
to which port member in the specific trunk group.
Generally, in this port-based trunking feature, user can perform the
following:
•
Select Chip
: select chip number. Available chip number is 0 to 2, and each
chip provides 8 RJ-45 ports. After selecting specific chip, user
can choose 'E' or 'D' to enable or disable trunking
configuration under this chip. It means the specific chip will
have such ability of port trunking after setting Trunk group
and Forwarding table.
•
T
: Setting trunk group. Each chip provides 4 trunk groups and there at least
two ports in one trunk group.
•
F
: Assign forwarding table for each trunk group.
User can set the trunking related functions by the following steps; for
example, to set trunk group 5 and choose port 11, port 15 as group
members:
1. Select Chip 0 and Enable the trunking function.
