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.
