4.5 Port Trunking

Trunking refers to Link Aggregation. It optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a single trunk (aggregated groups). The bandwidth of the Trunk is the sum of bandwidth of its member port.

There are some rules on using Trunk:

1)Before setting the Trunk, its member ports should be divided to the same VLAN, and have the same PVID and drop the untagged frame rule. Change of the Trunk setting will not affect the VLAN setting. Trunks can not be set if the switch is in MTU VLAN mode

2)The Trunk member ports can’t enable port security and can’t be set as mirror or mirrored port.

3)All of the Trunk member ports should be connected correctly; otherwise some ports will not be able to work.

4.6 Priority Setting

The priority mode of the switch can be set to “Disable”, “Port-Based” or “IEEE802.1p”.

4.6.1 Priority Mode

Three priority modes (disable, port-based and IEEE802.1p) are provided for this switch family.

The priority rule can be set to “Weighted” or “Fixed”. When the priority rule is configured as "weighted", a 1,2,4,8 weighting is applied to forward packets. When "fixed" is selected, all packets with top priority egress for a switch port until that priority's queue is empty, then the packets with next lower priority.
