3. Repeat the process on Web switch 2.
Trunk group 1 (on Web switch 1) is now connected to trunk group 3 (on Web switch 2).
NOTE In this example, two Alteon Web switches are used. If a third-p art y de vi ce su ppo rt i ng
link aggregation is used (such as Cisco router s and switches with EtherChannel technolo gy or
Suns Quad Fast Ethernet Adapter), trunk groups on the third-party device should be config-
ured manually. Connection problems could arise when using automatic trunk group negotia-
tion on the third-party device.
4. Examine the trunking information on each switch.
Information about each port in each configured trunk group will be displayed. Make sure that
trunk groups consist of the expected ports and that each port is in the expected state.
The following restrictions apply:
nAny physical switch port can belong to only one trunk group.
nUp to four ports can belong to the same trunk group.
nBest performance is achieved when all ports in any given trunk group are configured for
the same speed.
nTrunking from non-Alteon devices must comply with Cisco® EtherChannel® technology.
