SMC Networks SMC6824M manual 121, Statically Configuring a Trunk Command Usage

PORT CONFIGURATION

•When configuring static trunks on switches of different types, they must be compatible with the Cisco EtherChannel standard.

•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.

•Trunk ports must all be of the same media type (i.e., all 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-TX/SX/LX/LH, or all 100BASE-FX).

•All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved from/ to, added or deleted from a VLAN.

•STA, VLAN, and IGMP settings can only be made for the entire trunk.
