Creating a Port Trunk
This procedure explains how to create a port trunk.
Caution
Do not connect the cables of a port trunk to the ports on the switch
until you have configured the ports on both the switch and the end
node. Connecting the cables prior to configuring the ports can create
loops in your network topology. Loops can result in broadcast
storms which can adversely affect the operation of your network.
To create a port trunk, perform the following procedure:
1. Select the Bridge folder.
The Bridge folder expands.
2. From the Bridge folder, select the Trunk Config. folder.
The Trunk Config. folder expands.
3. From the Trunk Config. folder, select Trunking.
The Trunking Page is displayed. See Figure 25.
Figure 25. Trunking Page
If the switch does not contain a port trunk, all of the ports on the switch
are unchecked. If there is a port trunk, the ports in the trunk are
checked.
