4.3.11 Configuring Static Port Trunking
The Matrix E1 allows you to configure up to 12 trunks on the device. Depending on the Matrix E1
model type and the expansion module(s) installed, each trunk can combine up to eight ports into an
aggregate connection with up to 8 Gbps of bandwidth when operating at full duplex. Besides
balancing the load across each port in the trunk, the additional ports provide redundancy by taking
over the load if another port in the trunk should fail. However, before making any physical
connections between devices, use the set trunk command to specify the trunk on the devices at both
ends.
Purpose
To display trunking information, to set the device trunking mode, to create and delete trunks on the
device, to display and configure port settings for a particular trunk, and to set the trunking
algorithm.
Commands
The commands needed to configure port trunking are listed below and described in the associated
section as shown.
• show trunk ( Section 4.3.11.1 )
• set trunkmode ( Section 4.3.11.2 )
• set trunk ( Section 4.3.11.3 )
• clear trunk ( Section 4.3.11.4 )
• set trunk port ( Section 4.3.11.5 )
• clear trunk port ( Section 4.3.11.6 )
• set trunk algorithm ( Section 4.3.11.7 )
