Trunk Configuration

Trunk groups can provide super-bandwidth connections between

GbE Switch Module

s or other

trunk capable devices. A trunk is a group of ports that act together, combining their bandwidth
to create a single, larger port. Up to 11 trunk groups can be configured on the

GbE Switch Mod-

ule

, with the following restrictions:

„

Any physical switch port can belong to no more than one trunk group.

„

Up to four ports/trunks can belong to the same trunk group.

„

Configure all ports in a trunk group with the same link configuration (speed, duplex, flow
control).

„

Trunking from non-Alteon devices must comply with Cisco

®

EtherChannel

®

technology.

By default, each trunk group is empty and disabled.
