Enabling or
Disabling a Port
Trunk
This procedure enables and disables a port trunk. Note the following
before performing this procedure:
 Do not enable a port trunk until after you have
configured the trunk on both switches.
 Do not connect the cables to the ports on the switches
until after you have configured and enabled the trunk
on both switches.
Note
If you are disabling a port trunk, be sure to first disconnect all cables
from the ports of the trunk. Leaving the cables connected can create
loops in your network topology because the ports of a disabled port
trunk function as normal network ports, forwarding individual
network traffic.
To enable or disable a port trunk, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Advanced Config menu, select Trunk Config.
The Trunk Configuration page is shown in Figure 77.
2. On the row that corresponds to the trunk you want to modify, from the
list, select Enable or Disable.
3. Click Apply.
