If all ports on both switch units are configured as 100BaseTX and they are operating in full duplex,
the potential bandwidth of the connection will be up to 1.6 Gbps on the EDS-518A. This means
that users can connect one EDS to another EDS by Port Trunking to double, triple, or quadruple
the bandwidth of the connection.
When configuring Port Trunking, note that:
Each EDS-518A can set a maximum of 3 Port Trunking groups (Trk1/Trk2, 2 trunk groups for
10/100M ports and Trk3 for Gigabit ports)
When you activate Port Trunking settings, some advanced functions that you setup with the
original ports will either be set to factory default values, or disabled:
y Communication Redundancy will be set to the factory default
y Traffic Prioritization will be set to the factory default
y Port-based VLAN or 802.1Q VLAN will be set to the factory default
y Multicast Filtering will be set to the factory default
y Rate Limiting will be set to the factory default
y Port Access Control will be set to the factory default
y Email and Relay Warning will be set to the factory default
y Set Device IP will be set to the factory default
y Mirror Port will be set to the factory default
You can setup these features again on your Trunking Port.
