Modifying a Port Trunk
This procedure explains how to change the status of a port trunk and add
or remove ports from a port trunk.
Caution
Before you modify a port trunk, disconnect the cables from the ports
of the trunk. Adding or removing ports from a trunk without first
disconnecting the cables can create loops in your network topology,
which can cause broadcast storms and poor network performance.
To add or remove ports from a 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 shown in Figure 25 on page 80.
4. Click the status of the port trunk you want to modify and change the
status to one of the following options:
Disable
Disable the port trunk.
Active
The aggregator will broadcast and respond to LACPDU packets.
Passive
The aggregator will not broadcast LACPDU packets, but it will respond
to them.
Manual
Enables static port trunking and disables LACP.
5. Click Apply.
6. To add or remove a port from a trunk, click the dialog box for the port
in the corresponding trunk row.
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.
