AT-S62 Command Line User’s Guide

Note

Before creating a port trunk, examine the speed, duplex mode, and flow control settings of the lowest numbered port to be in the trunk. Check to be sure that the settings are correct for the end node to which the trunk will be connected. When you create the trunk, the AT-S62 management software copies the settings of the lowest numbered port in the trunk to the other ports so that all the settings are the same.

You should also check to be sure that the ports are untagged members of the same VLAN. You cannot create a trunk of ports that are untagged members of different VLANs.

Examples

The following command creates a port trunk using ports 3 through 6. The command names the trunk “load22” and sets the load distribution method to destination MAC address.

create switch trunk=load22 port=3-6 select=macdest

The following command creates a port trunk consisting of ports 15,17, and 23. The command names the trunk “trunk4”. No load distribution method is specified, so the default source and destination MAC addresses is used:

create switch trunk=trunk4 port=15,17,23
