Bridging

The SmartTrunk ConÞguration and Status window displays all of the ports on the selected device. The following information is given for each port:

Port

Displays each port on the selected module. Use the scroll bar to the right of the list box to view information for all available ports.

Name

Displays the interface description of the selected port.

Mode

Displays the connection type for each port, either User or Network. User connections do not participate in SmartTrunking; Network connections do. At least two ports (from two separate chassis) must be designated as Network connections to participate in SmartTrunking. All FNB interfaces must be designated as User connections.

SmartTrunk State

Displays the current operating state of each listed port. The possible states include:

¥NoneÑThe port is operating as a normal switch port.

¥BlockingÑThe port is load sharing, but in the blocked mode. While the module performs the function of determining if there is a network loop, data is temporarily blocked on new SmartTrunk ports and on any port that becomes newly linked.

¥Load SharingÑThe port is actively load-sharing with other ports.

Instance

Displays the number of ports associated with each loop.

# SmartTrunks

Displays the total number of load-sharing ports in the loop.

The only conÞgurable Þelds in the SmartTrunk ConÞguration and Status window are the two Þelds with option buttons, each with two possible settings: SmartTrunk (with the options of Enable and Disable) and Enable and Disable Port # X (with the options of LoadSharing and Disable).

NOTE

When you Þrst open the SmartTrunk ConÞguration and Status Screen, the Enable and Disable Port # X Þeld will be labeled SmartTrunk State Port #. After you click on a port number in the list box, the Þeld title will change to Enable and Disable Port # X.
