CLI – This example creates trunk 1 with ports 11 and 12. Just
connect these ports to two static trunk ports on another switch to
form a trunk.

Configuring SNMP

The switch includes an onboard agent that continuously monitors
the status of its hardware, as well as the traffic passing through its
ports, based on the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). A network management station can access this
information using management software. Access rights to the
onboard agent are controlled by community strings. To
communicate with the switch, the management station must first
Console(config)#interface port-channel 1 3-92
