Performing Port Aggregation

The aggregation or trunking of ports enables an aggregate of bandwidth between like switches. Attaching the console port to a PC or any VT100 compatible unit launches a main menu screen displayed by hitting any key. The Escape key quits the program functions. The

[T]command displays further parameters that define which ports or number of ports that can be in one trunk, or the number of possible trunks. The VLAN function might become disabled on trunked ports.

Configuring Ports

The same menu allows configuration of individual ports to turn off the auto-negotiation, flow-control, or full-duplex transmission features. Attaching the console port to a PC or any VT100 compatible unit launches a main menu screen that is displayed by hitting any key. The Escape key quits the program functions. The [M] command displays the options for each port configuration. To change the mode, enter the port number, and then the number representing a selection from the options list displayed on the screen. The list differs between the TX and FX ports. Follow these steps to change the speed/duplex mode setting or to toggle flow control ON/OFF:
