PORT TRUNK CONFIGURATION

The MT-RJ ports used for one side of a trunk must all be on the same internal switch chip. The port groups permitted include:

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

1,2,3,4,

5,6,7,8,

9,10,11,12,

13,14,15,16

17,18,19,20

21,22,23,24

 

 

 

The 100BASE-FX SC-type fiber ports used for one side of a trunk must all be on the same module. However, the 1000BASE-X ports used for one side of a trunk may be on any switch in the stack, or both on the same switch if used standalone.

Media Module

 

100BASE-FX

Any ports on a single module.

1000BASE-X

Up to four Gigabit ports from any switch in the stack, or both

 

Gigabit ports on two modules installed in a standalone switch.

For example, when using Gigabit ports to form a trunk within a stack, the Gigabit ports will all be at Port 25. In this case, you could specify a trunk group consisting of:

(Unit1-Port25, Unit2-Port25, Unit3-Port25, Unit4-Port25), or two trunks consisting of:

(Unit1-Port25, Unit2-Port25) and (Unit3-Port25, Unit4-Port25).
