Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
• The Spanning Tree algorithm views port trunk ports as a single Spanning Tree port. The
Spanning Tree port is represented by the master logical port.
•
•
•
•
If the VLAN settings of the master logical port are changed, the VLAN settings of all
members of that port trunk are changed similarly.
If the IGMP snooping configuration for any port trunk member is changed, the IGMP
snooping settings for all port trunk members are changed.
The port trunk takes precedence over any other setting. That is, the settings of port
trunked ports are the same as the master port settings.
When any trunked port becomes a non-trunked port, all of the port configurations are
reset to default settings.
Refer to Appendix H in the HP ProLiant p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch User Guide for
additional information on port trunking.
To configure a port trunking group:
1. Highlight Configure Port Trunking on the Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
The Port Trunking Settings screen allows you to set the following:
— Group ID—Enter a group ID number for the port trunking group.
— Group Name—Enter a name for the port trunking group.
— Member ports—Toggle between M to indicate membership of the port trunking
group, or a dash (—) to indicate nonmembership.
— State—Toggle between Enabled and Disabled. This setting is used to turn a port
trunking group on or off. It is useful for diagnostics, to quickly isolate a bandwidth
intensive network device, or to have an absolute backup aggregation group that is not
under automatic control.
