Chapter 17: Port Trunking

Modifying a Port Trunk

This procedure adds and removes ports from a port trunk.

Note

You should disconnect the cables from the ports of the trunk on the switch before modifying it. Adding or removing ports from a trunk without first disconnecting the cables can create loops in your network topology, which can cause broadcast storms and poor network performance.

To add or remove ports from a trunk, perform the following procedure:

1.From the Advanced Config menu, select Trunk Config. The Trunk Configuration page is shown in Figure 54.

2.Click the status of the port trunk to be modified and change the status from Enable to Disable.

Note

Allied Telesyn recommends disabling a port trunk before adding or removing ports.

3.Click Apply.

4.To add or remove a port from a trunk, click the dialog box for the port in the corresponding trunk row. A check in a box indicates the port is a member of the trunk. No check means the port is not a member.A port trunk can contain up to eight ports.

5.Click Apply.

6.Modify the port trunk on the other switch and reconnect the cables.
