2. On Switch B, configure trunk groups 4 and 2:
>> # /cfg/l2/trunk 4 (Select trunk group 4)
>> Trunk group 4# add 19 (Add port 19 to trunk group 4)
>> Trunk group 4# add 20 (Add port 20 to trunk group 4)
>> Trunk group 4# ena (Enable trunk group 4)
>> Trunk group 4# apply (Make your changes active)
>> # /cfg/l2/trunk 2 (Select trunk group 2)
>> Trunk group 2# add 21 (Add port 21 to trunk group 2)

NOTE: In this example, two GbE2 Interconnect Switches are used. Any third-party device supporting link
aggregation should be configured manually. Connection problems could arise when using automatic trunk
group negotiation on the third-party device.
3. Examine the trunking information on each GbE2 Interconnect Switch using the following command:
>> /info/l2/trunk (View trunking information)
Information about each port in each configured trunk group will be displayed. Make sure that trunk groups
consist of the expected ports and that each port is in the expected state.
