2. Enable Open Trunking by clicking the Enable Open Trunking check box to
display a check mark.
3. Set the Congestion Thresholds for ports as percentages of link bandwidths in
the range of 1% through 99%. These thresholds are used only when a port
becomes an ISL. When the link’s traffic load becomes greater than this
percentage, the link is seen as congested and traffic is rerouted (if possible) to
an uncongested link. Note that rerouting may not be possible if there are no
alternate links available or if alternate links are congested or lack BB_Credits.
