Chapter 6: Static Port Trunks
112 Section I: Basic Operations
Creating a Static Port Trunk
This section contains the procedure for creating a static port trunk on a
switch.
Caution
Do not connect the cables to the trunk ports on the switches until
after you have configured the trunk with the management software.
Connecting the cables before configuring the software will create a
loop in your network topology. Data loops can result in broadcast
storms and poor network performance.
Note
Before creating a port trunk, examine the speed, duplex mode, and
flow control settings of the lowest numbered port that will be a part of
the trunk. Check to be sure that the settings are correct for the end
node to which the trunk will be connected. When you create the
trunk, the AT-S63 Management Software copies the settings of the
lowest numbered port in the trunk to the other ports so that all the
settings are the same.
You should also check to be sure that the ports are untagged
members of the same VLAN. You cannot create a trunk of ports that
are untagged members of different VLANs.
To create a port trunk, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration.
2. From the Port Configuration menu, type 4 to select Port Trunking and
LACP. The Port Trunking and LACP menu is shown in Figure 36.
