2-45Configuring Port Trunks

Port trunks can be used to increase the bandw idth of a network

connection or to ensure fault recovery. You can configure up to

four trunk connections (combining 2~4 port s into a fat pipe)

between any two TigerSwitch 1000 swit ches. However, before

making any physical connections between devices, use the Trunk

Configuration menu to specify the trunk on the devices at both

ends. When using a port trunk, note that:

•Ports can only be assigned to one trunk.

•The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as

trunk ports.

•The ports at both ends of a trunk must be configured in an

identical manner, including duplex mode, and VLAN

assignments.

•None of the ports in a trunk can be configured as a mirror

source port or mirror target port.

•All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when

moved from/to, added or deleted from a VLAN.

•The Spanning Tree Algorithm will treat all the ports in a trunk

as a whole.

•Enable the trunk prior to connecting any cable between the

switches to avoid creating a loop.

•Disconnect all trunk port cables or disable the trunk ports

before removing a port trunk to avoid creating a loo p.
