DESCRIPTION

*

Settings in this row apply to all ports.

 

Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this

 

row first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port

 

basis.

 

Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you

 

make them.

 

 

LACP

Timeout is the time interval between the individual port exchanges of LACP packets in

Timeout

order to check that the peer port in the trunk group is still up. If a port does not respond

 

after three tries, then it is deemed to be “down” and is removed from the trunk. Set a

 

short timeout (one second) for busy trunked links to ensure that disabled ports are

 

removed from the trunk group as soon as possible.

 

Select either 1 second or 30 seconds.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses

 

these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top

 

navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done

 

configuring.

15.6 Static Trunking Example

This example shows you how to create a static port trunk group for ports 2-5.

1Make your physical connections - make sure that the ports that you want to belong to the trunk group are connected to the same destination. The following figure shows ports 2-5 on switch A connected to switch B.
