■VLAN ID — ID of the configured VLAN
■Name — Name of the VLAN (1 to 32 characters).
■Ports — Port identifier.
Trunking
Ports can be statically grouped into a trunk, also known as an aggregated link under the IEEE 802.1ad standard. This increases the bandwidth of a network connection and ensures fault recovery. Trunking permits the connection of multiple ports to the same remote device in order to achieve higher network throughput.
Guidelines for creating Trunks
■Any of the ports on the Switch can be used for creating a trunk.
■This switch can support a maximum of 4 trunks.
■Each trunk may contain up to 8 members.
■A port may only be a member of one trunk at any one time.
■All ports in a trunk must be configured in an identical manner, including communication mode (i.e., speed, duplex mode and flow control).
Use the Trunking Create/Modify/Delete page to create, configure or remove ports groups from trunks.
