Trunk configuration
Trunk groups can provide super-bandwidth connections between switches or other trunk capable devices. A trunk is a
group of ports that act together, combining their bandwidth to create a single, larger port. Up to 12 trunk groups can
be configured on the switch, with the following restrictions.
• Any physical switch port can belong to no more than one trunk group.
• Up to six ports/trunks can belong to the same trunk group.
• All ports in a trunk must have the same configuration for speed, flow control, and auto negotiation.
• Trunking from other devices must comply with Cisco® EtherChannel® technology.
• By default, port 17 and port 18 are trunked to support an internal switch-to-switch crosslink trunk. By default,
ports 17 and 18 are disabled.
NOTE: See the HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Switch Application Guide for information on
how to use port trunks.
