Port Trunking

Trunk Configuration Methods

ProCurve(config) int c1-c4 lacp active

Note that the preceding example works if the ports are not already operating in a trunk. To change the LACP option on ports already operating as a trunk, you must first remove them from the trunk. For example, if ports C1 - C4 were LACP-active and operating in a trunk with another device, you would do the following to change them to LACP-passive:

ProCurve(config)# no int c1-c4 lacp

Removes the ports from the trunk.

ProCurve(config)# int c1-c4 lacp passive

Configures LACP passive.

Static Trunk: The switch uses the links you configure with the Port/Trunk Settings screen in the menu interface or the trunk command in the CLI to create a static port trunk. The switch offers two types of static trunks: LACP and Trunk.
