The Port Trunking Window

The Port Trunking window features the trunking table (in the upper portion of the window), which displays the following information about each interface for which trunking is enabled:

Index

Displays the port’s strunkIfIndex identifier.

State

Indicates the port’s trunking condition (strunkState). The possible states are:

closed — trunking is enabled, and the trunking protocol is attempting to establish a trunk connection, but the port has not yet received any trunking PDUs.

oneway — trunking is enabled, and the trunking protocol is attempting to establish a trunk connection, but incoming trunking PDUs do not indicate that the ATX’s trunking PDUs are being successfully received at the other end of the link.

joined — trunking is enabled, the trunking protocol has established a good trunk connection, and the port is actively participating in the trunk group.

perturbed — trunking is enabled, the trunking protocol has established a good trunk connection, and the port is actively participating in the trunk group; however, the transmission of data packets has been temporarily stopped due to a change in trunk group membership.
