Chapter 49: Static Port Trunks

Creating New Static Port Trunks or Adding Ports To Existing Trunks
The command to create new static port trunks or to add ports to existing
trunks is the STATIC-CHANNEL-GROUP command. Here is the format of
the command:
static-channel-group id_number
You perform the command from the Port Interface mode of the ports the
trunk is to contain. Here is an example that creates a new trunk of ports 22
to 23 and the ID number 1:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.22-port1.0.23
awplus(config-if)# static-channel-group 1
If a static port trunk of that ID number already exists, the commands add
ports 22 and 23 to it.
Caution
To prevent the formation of loops in your network topology, do not
connect the network cables to the member ports of a trunk until after
you have created it. Network loops can result in broadcast storms
that can adversely affect network performance.
