Test Result – The results include common cable failures, as well as the status
and approximate distance to a fault, or the approximate cable length if no fault
is found.
To ensure more accurate measurement of the length to a fault, first disable
power-saving mode on the link partner before running cable diagnostics.
For link-down ports, the reported distance to a fault is accurate to within +/- 2
meters. For link-up ports, the accuracy is +/- 10 meters.
Last Updated – Shows the last time this port was tested.
Test – Initiates cable test.
Web Interface
To test the cable attached to a port:

Trunk Configuration
This section describes how to configure static and dynamic trunks.
You can create multiple links between devices that work as one virtual, aggregate
link. A port trunk offers a dramatic increase in bandwidth for network segments
where bottlenecks exist, as well as providing a fault-tolerant link between two
devices. You can create up to 8 trunks at a time on the switch.
