Table | 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. | |
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 | Disabled |
| 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). | |

MultiLink Trunk Utilization Screen
The MultiLink Trunk Utilization screen (Figures
Figure 3-18 shows an example of bandwidth utilization rates for the trunk member ports configured in Figure 3-17. Because two screens are necessary to show all of the configured trunks (up to six), the screen prompts you to Press [Ctrl]-N to view trunks five and six.
Choose MultiLink Trunk Utilization (or press u) from the MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen to open the MultiLink Trunk Utilization screen.
