Trunk Configuration
33
• The ports at both ends of a trunk must be configured in an identical manner, including
communication mode (i.e., speed, duplex mode and flow control), VLAN assignments, and CoS
settings.
• Any of the Gigabit ports on the front panel can be trunked together, including ports of different
media types.
• All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved from/to, added or deleted
from a VLAN.
• STP, VLAN, and IGMP settings can only be made for the entire trunk.
Configuring a Static Trunk
Use the Interface > Trunk > Static page to create a trunk, assign member ports, and configure the
connection parameters.

Command Usage
• When configuring static trunks, you may not be able to link switches of different types,
depending on the vendor’s implementation.
• To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you add a static trunk via the configuration
interface before connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before removing a static
trunk via the configuration interface.
