You have to check the runtime link speed and the duplex mode to make
sure the trunk is physically active. Go to Physical Interface and check
the link mode in the runtime status window for the trunk ports. If all the
trunk members are in the same speed and full duplex mode, then the trunk
group is set up successfully. If one of the members is not in the same
speed or full duplex mode, the trunk is not set correctly. Check the link
partner and change the settings to have the same speed and full duplex
mode for all the members of your trunk group.
4.3.3 Mirroring
Mirroring, together with a network
traffic analyzer, helps you monitor
the network traffics. You can monitor
the selected ports for egress or
ingress packets.
•
Mirror Mode: Enables or disables
the mirror function for the selected
group.
•
Monitor Port: Receives the copies
of all the traffics in the selected mirrored ports.
All the ports in the link aggregation group MUST operate in full-duplex
mode at the same speed.
All the ports in the link aggregation group MUST be configured in auto-
negotiation mode or full duplex mode. This configuration will make the
full duplex link possible. If you set the ports in full duplex force mode,
then the link partner MUST have the same setting. Otherwise the link
aggregation could operate abnormally.
All the ports in the link aggregation group MUST have the same VLAN
setting.
All the ports in the link aggregation group are treated as a single logical
link. That is, if any member changes an attribute, the others will change
too. For example, a trunk group consists of port 1 and 2. If the VLAN of
port 1 changes, the VLAN of port 2 also changes with port 1.
