Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch

1-68

302401-D Rev 00

Switch S4 is configured as follows:

Trunk (read only) indicates the trunk (1 to 6) that corresponds to the switch
ports specified in the Trunk Members fields.

Trunk Members (Unit/Port) indicates the ports that can be configured, in
each row, to create the corresponding trunk:

Ports 5 and 11 are assigned as trunk members of trunk T1.

STP Learning indicates the spanning tree participation setting for each of the
trunks:

Trunk 1 is enabled for Normal STP Learning.

Trunk Mode (read only) indicates the Trunk Mode for each of the trunks:

The Trunk Mode field value for trunk 1 is set to Basic. Source MAC addresses
are statically assigned to specific trunk members for flooding and forwarding.
This allows the switch to stabilize and distribute the data streams of source
addresses across the trunk members.

Trunk Status indicates the Trunk Status for each of the trunks. When it is set
to Enabled, the configuration settings for that specific trunk are activated.

Trunk Name indicates optional fields for assigning names to the
corresponding configured trunks.

The names chosen for this example provide meaningful information to the
user (for example, S4:T5 to S1 indicates that Trunk 1, in switch S4, connects
to Switch 1).
