24-Port Fast Ethernet Switch Management Guide

• When configuring static trunks on switches of different types, they must
be compatible with the Cisco EtherChannel standard.
• 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.
• Trunk ports must all be of the same media type (i.e., all 100BASE-T,
1000BASE-TX/SX/LX/LH, or all 100BASE-FX).
• All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved from/
to, added or deleted from a VLAN.
• STA, VLAN, and IGMP settings can only be made for the entire trunk.
Statically Configuring a Trunk
Command Usage
• When configuring static trunks, you
may not be able to link switches of
different types, depending on the
manufacturer’s implementation.
However, note that the static trunks on
this switch are Cisco EtherChannel
compatible.
• 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.
Command Attributes

Port).
