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.
2. In any one of the unused Trunk ID rows, click the check box next to the
ports that will make up the port trunk. 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.
3. From the list at the end of the port list for the trunk you want to enable
or disable, choose Manual to enable the trunk, or Disable to disable it.
4. Click Apply.
The trunk is now operational on the switch.
5. Configure the port trunk on the other switch and connect the cables.
Enabling or
Disabling a Port
Trunk
This procedure enables and disables a port trunk. Note the following
before performing this procedure:
ˆ Do not enable a port trunk until after you have configured the trunk on
both switches.
ˆ 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 71.
2. From the list at the end of the port list for the trunk you want to enable
or disable, choose Manual to enable the trunk, or Disable to disable it.
3. Click Apply.
