Chapter 10: Static Port Trunking

150

A check in a box indicates the port is a member of the trunk. No check
means the port is not a member. A port trunk can contain up to eight
ports.

5. Change the Trunk Status from Disable to another setting. The choice

in the status field are the following:

Active - The specific aggregator will broadcast and respond to
LACPDU (LACP Data Unit) packets. This setting enables
the LACP feature for the trunk.

Passive - The specific aggregator will not broadcast LACPDU
packets, but it will respond to them. This setting disables the LACP
feature for the trunk.

Manual - Enables static port trunking and disables the LACP
feature for the trunk.

Disable - Disables the static port trunk and disables the LACP
feature for the trunk.

6. Click Apply.

7. If you did not select the trunk mode Disabled, the trunk is now

operational on the switch.

8. From the main menu on the left side of the page, select Save

Configuration to Flash to permanently save your changes.

9. Configure the port trunk on the other switch.

10. Connect the Ethernet cables between trunk ports on the AT-GS950/8

switch and the trunk ports on the other switch.
