Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch Using the Console Management Interface

To configure a port trunking group:

1.Highlight Configure Port Trunking on the Configuration menu.

2.Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.

The Port Trunking Settings screen allows you to set the following:

—Group ID—Enter a group ID number for the port trunking group.

—Group Name—Enter a name for the port trunking group.

—Member ports—Toggle between M to indicate membership of the port trunking group, or a dash (—) to indicate nonmembership.

—State—Toggle between Enabled and Disabled. This setting is used to turn a port trunking group on or off. It is useful for diagnostics, to quickly isolate a bandwidth intensive network device, or to have an absolute backup aggregation group that is not under automatic control.

3.After making your changes, highlight APPLY, then press the Enter key.

NOTE: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier in this chapter.
