Menu: Viewing and Configuring a Static Trunk Group

Configure port trunking before you connect the trunked links to another switch, routing switch, or server. Otherwise, a broadcast storm could occur. (If you need to connect the ports before configuring them for trunking, you can temporarily disable the ports until the trunk is configured. Refer to “Enabling or Disabling Ports and Configuring Port Mode” on page 10-16.)

To View and/or Configure Static Port Trunking: This procedure uses the Port/Trunk Settings screen to configure a static port trunk group on the switch.

1.Follow the procedures in the Important note above.

2.From the Main Menu, Select:

2.Switch Configuration …2.Port/Trunk Settings

3.Press [E] (for Edit) and then use the arrow keys to access the port trunk parameters.

These two columns indicate static trunk status.

(For dynamic LACP trunk status, use the CLI show lacp command—page 12-13.)
