MultiLink Trunk Configuration Screen

The MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen allows you to configure two to four switch ports together as members of a trunk. Up to six trunks can be created for each BayStack 350 switch. Figure 3-17 shows an example of the MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen. In this screen example (previously discussed on page 1-46), five trunks are shown: one trunk is configured with four trunk members and the remaining four trunks are each configured with two trunk members. When a configured trunk is enabled, the trunk members (the specified switch ports) take on default settings necessary for correct operation of the MultiLink Trunking feature. These default settings can affect the correct operation of your configured network. See “MultiLink Trunks” on page 1-46 for more information.

Note: If you disable a trunk, you may need to reconfigure the specific trunk members switch ports to return to the previous switch configuration.

Choose Trunk Configuration (or press t) from the MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen to open the MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen.
