MultiLink Trunk Configuration Screen Fields (continued)

 

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

 

STP Learning

The STP Learning column contains a single field for each row that, when enabled, allows

 

the specified trunk to participate in the spanning tree. This setting overrides those of the

 

individual trunk members.

 

Fast is the same as Normal, except that the state transition timer is shortened to two

 

seconds.

 

 

Default Value:

Normal

 

Range:

Normal, Fast, Disabled

Trunk Mode

The Trunk Mode column contains a single read-only field for each row that indicates the

 

default operating mode for the switch.

 

Basic: Basic mode is the default mode for the switch. When in this mode, source MAC

 

addresses are dynamically assigned to specific trunk members for flooding and

 

forwarding. This allows the switch to stabilize and distribute the data streams of source

 

addresses across the trunk members.

 

Default Value:

Basic

Trunk Status

The Trunk Status column contains a single field for each row that allows users to enable

 

or disable any of the trunks.

 

Default Value:

Enabled

 

Range:

Enabled, Disabled

Trunk Name

The Trunk Name column contains a single optional field in each row that can be used to

 

assign names to the corresponding configured trunks. The names chosen for this

 

example can provide meaningful information to the user (for example, S1:T1 to FS2

 

indicates trunk 1, in switch S1 connects to file server 2)
