MultiLink Trunk Configuration Screen
The MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen ( Figure 3-17 ) allows you to configure
up to six trunks in a standalone switch or stack. In a stack configuration, trunk
members can be distributed between any of the units within the same stack
configuration.
Any mix of up to eight BayStack 450 switches and BayStack 410-24T switches
can be stacked to provide a total of 224 ports (when all MDA slots are configured
with the maximum port availability).
Figure 3-17 shows six trunks in a stack configuration:
• Trunk 1 has four trunk members in unit 3.
• Trunks 2, 3, 4, and 5 each have two trunk members in individual units.
• Trunk 6 has four trunk members distributed into four separate units of the
stack.
When the trunks are enabled, the trunk members take on default settings necessary
for correct operation of the MultiLink Trunking feature. These default settings can
affect the correct operation of your configured network. If you disable a trunk, you
may need to reconfigure the specific trunk members switch ports to return to the
previous switch configuration. See “
MultiLink Trunks ” on page 1-60 for more
information.
Choose Trunk Configuration (or press t) from the MultiLink Trunk Configuration
Menu screen to open the MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen.
