EX2500 Ethernet Switch Configuration Guide
1.Follow these steps on the EX2500 switch:
a.Define a trunk group.
ex2500(config)# portchannel 3 member 2,9, 16 ex2500(config)# portchannel 3 enable
b.Verify the configuration. ex2500(config)# show portchannel 3
Examine the resulting information. If any settings are incorrect, make appropriate changes.
2.Repeat the process on the other switch.
ex2500(config)# portchannel 1 member 1,11,18 ex2500(config)# portchannel 1 enable
ex2500(config)# show portchannel 1
3.Connect the switch ports that will be members in the trunk group.
Trunk group 3 (on the EX2500 switch) is now connected to trunk group 1 (on the other switch).
NOTE: In this example, two EX2500 switches are used. If a
4. Examine the trunking information on each switch.

port state:
2:STG 1 forwarding
9:STG 1 forwarding
16: STG 1 forwarding
Information about each port in each configured trunk group is displayed. Make sure that trunk groups consist of the expected ports and that each port is in the expected state. The following restrictions apply:
Any physical switch port can belong to only one trunk group.
Up to 12 ports can belong to the same trunk group.
All ports in static trunks must be have the same link configuration (speed, duplex, flow control).
