Creating a Port Trunk
This section contains the procedure for creating a port trunk on the
switch. Be sure to review the guidelines in Port Trunking Overview on
page 63 before performing the procedure.
Caution
Do not connect the cables to the trunk ports on the switch until
after you have configured the trunk with the management
software. Connecting the cables before configuring the software
will create a loop in your network topology. Data loops can result in
broadcast storms and poor network performance.
Note
Before creating a port trunk, examine the parameter settings of the
ports that will make up the trunk. Check to be sure that the settings,
such as speed and duplex mode, are the same for all the ports of the
trunk. You should also check to be sure that the ports are members
of the same VLAN.
To create a port trunk, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type A to select Advanced Switch
Configuration.
2. From the Advanced Switch Configuration Menu, type T to select
Trunk Configuration.
The Trunking Configuration Menu in Figure 20 is displayed.
