CONFIGURING THE SWITCH
•The ports at both ends of a trunk must be configured in an identical manner, including communication mode (i.e., speed, duplex mode and flow control), VLAN assignments, and CoS settings.
•All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved from/ to, added or deleted from a VLAN.
•The same STP, VLAN, and IGMP settings must be configured for all the ports in a trunk.
Configuring Static Trunks
You can manually assign specific ports to a static trunk.
Command Usage
•To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure that you add a static trunk via the Web interface before connecting the ports, and also disconnect ports before removing a static trunk via the Web interface.
•When using static trunks, you may not be able to link to switches of different types, depending on the manufacturer’s implementation.
