N-Tron 710FX2 user manual Ports Trunking, Trunk Ports, Trunk Status

Ports – Trunking

The Trunking tab under the Ports category displays the following details:

Trunk Ports

This field displays the ports associated with the trunk.

Trunk Status

This configurable field displays the existing status of the trunk. It can be either Enabled/Disabled.

By selecting the Modify button, you can select a trunk group.

Note: RSTP must be disabled in order to use the Trunking feature.

Two 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 an N-Ring manager. Do not connect the N-Ring to actively Trunking ports on an Auto Member.
