Adding Static Trunks

Review the following information before creating a new static port trunk:

When you create a new trunk, the settings of the lowest numbered port are copied to the other ports so that all the ports have the same settings. Therefore, you must examine and verify that the speed, duplex mode, and flow control settings of the lowest numbered port are correct for the network device to which the trunk is connected.

All ports of a trunk must be members of the same VLAN.

Ports can be a members of one static port trunk at a time. A port that is already a member of a trunk cannot be added to another trunk. To accomplish this, you must remove the member port from its current trunk assignment first. For instructions, see “Adding Static Trunks” on page 119.

To create an static port trunk, do the following:

1.Select the Switching tab.

The Switching tab is displayed. See Figure 19 on page 58.

2.From the Switching tab, select Link Aggregation.

For an example of the Link Aggregation selection, see Figure 41 on page 117.

3.Move the cursor to the right and select Static Trunks.

The Static Trunks page is displayed. See Figure 42 on page 117.

4.From the Static Trunks page, click Add.
