create switch trunk

[SELect={MACSrc|MACDest|MACBoth|IPSrc|IPDest|IPBoth}]
[SPeed={10M|100M|1000M}]
where:
■ trunk is a character string 1 to 15 characters long. Valid characters are
uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, the underscore, and the hyphen.
■ port-list is a port number, range (specified as n-m), or comma-separated list
of numbers and/or ranges. Port numbers start at 1 and end at m, where m
is the highest numbered Ethernet switch port, including uplink ports.
Description This command creates a trunk group on the switch and optionally adds ports
to it and sets its speed. The maximum number of trunk groups that can be
created depends on the particular switch model due to the capabilities of the
switch hardware. The switch supports static 802.3ad link aggregation. Port
trunking must be configured on both ends of the link, or network loops may
result.
The trunk parameter specifies the name of the trunk group. The name is not
case sensitive, although the case entered is preserved for display purposes. The
name uniquely identifies the trunk group. The specified trunk group must not
already exist.
The port parameter specifies the switch ports to be added to the trunk group.
Ports specified must not be in another trunk group, and must have the same
VLAN configuration. They cannot include the switch’s mirroring port. A trunk
group can consist of a maximum of 8 fixed or uplink ports but not a mixture of
both types.
The select parameter specifies the port selection criterion for the trunk group.
Each packet to be sent on the trunk group is checked, using the selection
criterion, and a port in the trunk group chosen down which to send the packet.
If macsrc is specified, the source MAC address is used. If macdest is specified,
the destination MAC address is used. If macboth is specified, both source and
destination MAC addresses are used. If IPSRC is specified, the source IP
address is used. If ipdest is specified, the destination IP address is used. If
ipboth is specified, both the source and destination IP addresses are used. The
user of the switch should choose the value of this parameter to try to spread the
load as evenly as possible on the trunk group. The default is macboth.
The speed parameter specifies the speed of the ports in the trunk group. For
gigabit ports, only the 1000M value is allowed. For switch ports, 10M and
100M values are allowed. The default is 100M. When a port is added to a trunk
group, its current speed and duplex mode settings are ignored and the port is
set to autonegotiate to the speed of the trunk group and full duplex mode.
Example To create a trunk group called Trunk1 containing ports 1 to 4, use the
command:
cre swi tr=Trunk1 po=1-4
