Configuring Port Trunking
When you select Port Trunking from the Configuration menu, the following screen is
displayed.
The GbE Interconnect Switch supports up to six trunk groups. Trunks are groups of ports that
are banded together to form a single, logical, high-bandwidth data pipe.
You can change the following parameters:
• Name—Type the user-assigned name of the trunk group.
• Port Members—Check the number of ports that will be members of the trunk group.
• State—Choose to enable or disable the trunk group.
To create or modify a trunk group:
1. Type a name in the Name field.
2. In the Member Ports area, check the ports that will compose the port trunk.
3. Change the State field to Enabled.
4. Click Apply.
NOTE: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM using
the Save Changes option on the Maintenance menu. Refer to the section, “Saving Changes,”
earlier in this chapter.
