Ports – Trunking, Continued…

Once the Trunk Group is created you will see detailed information for that trunk group, but it should have a disabled state by default.

In order to enable the Trunk Group you need to click on the State Button above. The following page should load asking for the Trunk ID and what the Trunk State is.

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.

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