Accton Technology ES3526XA, ES3552XA manual Statically Configuring a Trunk, Configuring Port Trunks

3 Configuring the Switch

•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.

•All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved from/to, added or deleted from a VLAN.

•STP, VLAN, and IGMP settings can only be made for the entire 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.
