a port trunk, remember that:
•Ports can only be assigned to one trunk.
•The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as trunk ports.
•The ports at both ends of a trunk must be configured in an identical manner, including communication mode and VLAN assignments.
•All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved from / to, added to, or deleted from, a VLAN.
•The Spanning Tree Algorithm will treat all the ports in a trunk as a whole.
•Enable the trunk prior to connecting any cable between the switches to avoid creating a loop.
Use the Trunk Configuration screen to set up port trunks as shown below:
Parameter | Description |
Trunk List | The port groups currently configured as trunks. |

The port groups permitted include:
<<13, 1>> <<14, 2>> <<15, 3>> <<16, 4>> <<17, 5>> <<18, 6>> <<19, 7>> <<20, 8>> <<21, 9>> <<22,10>> <<23,11>> <<24,12>>
<<13, 1, 14, 2>> <<15, 3, 16, 4>> <<17, 5, 18, 6>> <<19, 7, 20, 8>> <<21, 9, 22, 10>> <<23, 11, 24, 12>>
