72 Section I: Basic Operations
Creating Static Port Trunks
Caution
To prevent the formation of loops in your network and the
occurrence of broadcast storms, do not connect the cables to the
ports of a static trunk until after you have configured the ports on
both the stack and the remote device.
Note
Before creating a static port trunk, examine the speed, duplex mode,
and flow control settings of the lowest numbered port to be in the
trunk. Verify that its settings are appropriate for the remote device.
When you create a trunk, the AT-S63 Management Software copies
the settings of the trunk’s lowest numbered port to the other ports so
that they all have the same settings.
You should also check to be sure that all of the ports are untagged
members of the same VLAN, a requirement of static trunks.
To create a static port trunk:
1. From the Home page, click the Configuration button.
2. From the Configuration menu, click the Layer 1 button.
3. Click the Port Trunking tab, shown in Figure 19.
