You can configure trunk group types as follows:

N o t e

The following examples show how to create different types of trunk groups.
However, the SMC6624M allows only one trunk group at any time.

Configuring a Static Trunk, Static FEC, or Static LACP Trunk Group.

Syntax:

trunk trk1 <trunk | fec | lacp> <port-list>

This example uses ports 5-8 to create a non-protocol static trunk group.

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# trunk trk1 trunk 5-8

Removing Ports from a Static Trunk Group.

This command removes

one or more ports from an existing Trk1 trunk group.

C a u t i o n

Removing a port from a trunk can result in a loop and cause a broadcast storm.
When you remove a port from a trunk where STP is not in use, SMC recom-
mends that you disable the port or disconnect the link on that port.

Syntax:

no trunk <port-list>

This example removes ports 7 and 8 from an existing trunk group.

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# no trunk 7-8
