AT-S79 Management Software User’s Guide

Creating a Port Trunk

This procedure explains how to create a port trunk.

Caution

Do not connect the cables to the ports on the switches until after you have configured the trunk with the management software. Connecting the cables before configuring the software creates a loop in your network topology, which can result in broadcast storms and poor network performance.

To create a port trunk, perform the following procedure:

1.From the Main Menu, type A to select Advanced Switch Configuration.

The Advanced Switch Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 14.
