Gigabyte 7014 Ports - Trunking, By selecting the “Create” button, you can add a tru nk group

Ports – Trunking

The Trunking tab under the Ports category displays a list of trunks configured on the switch and the following details regarding each trunk:

Trunk Name

Trunk Ports

Trunk State

By selecting the “Create” button, you can add a tru nk group.

NOTE: RSTP must be disabled in order to use the Trunking Feature.

A maximum of 4 ports of the same speed can constitute a valid trunk.

Only 1 Trunk per switch can be created.

All trunk ports must be at the same speed and duplex mode. If a port is not linked, there could be difficulty as to similar speed and duplex mode. It is best to hard code speed and duplex mode for each trunking link, at both ends.

When trunking the gigabit ports it’s best to route switchA GB1 to switchB GB1 and switchA GB2 to switchB GB2.

Do not use Trunking on a switch that is directly in an active N-Ring.
