You can use the Port Trunking Configuration screen to set up port trunks as shown below:

Parameter

Description

Trunk#

The trunk identifier.

Port Count

Trunks can contain 2, 4 or 8 ports.

Port Number

The ports assigned to each trunk.

 

 

To add a trunk, press <Add>. To delete a trunk, highlight the required entry and press Enter. Before disconnecting a port trunk, take the following steps:

Before removing a port trunk via the configuration menu, you must disable all the ports in the trunk or remove all the network cables. Otherwise, a loop may be created.

To disable a single link within a port trunk, you should first remove the network cable, and then disable both ends of the link via the configuration menu. This allows the traffic passing across that link to be automatically distributed to the other links in the trunk, without losing any significant amount of traffic.
