—Ports 15, 17, 19, and 21 are assigned as trunk members of trunk 1.
—Ports 25 and 26 are assigned as trunk members of trunk 2.
—Ports 2 and 4 are assigned as trunk members of trunk 3.
—Ports 14 and 16 are assigned as trunk members of trunk 4.

•STP Learning indicates the spanning tree participation setting for each of the trunks:
—Trunks 1 through 4 are enabled for Normal STP Learning.
—Trunk 5 is enabled for Fast STP Learning.
•Trunk Mode (read only) indicates the Trunk Mode for each of the trunks.
The Trunk Mode field values for trunks 1 to 5 are set to Basic. Source MAC addresses are statically assigned to specific trunk members for flooding and forwarding, which allows the switch to stabilize and distribute the data streams of source addresses across the trunk members.
•Trunk Status indicates the Trunk Status for each of the trunks. When set to Enabled, the configuration settings for that specific trunk are activated.
•Trunk Name indicates optional fields for assigning names to the corresponding configured trunks.
The names chosen for this example provide meaningful information to the user of this switch (for example, S1:T1 to FS2 indicates that Trunk 1, in Switch S1, connects to File Server 2).
Trunk configuration screen for Switch S2
As shown in Figure 29 on page 73, Switch S2 is set up with two trunk configurations (T2 and T3). Both trunks connect directly to Switch S1.
As in the previous screen examples, to set up a trunk configuration, choose MultiLink Trunk Configuration from the MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen.
