CREATE SWITCH TRUNK
Syntax
create switch trunk= name [tgid= value ] port= ports
[select=macsrc|macdest|macboth|ipsrc|ipdest|ipboth]
Parameters
trunk Specifies the name of the trunk. The name can be up to
16 alphanumeric characters. No spaces or special
characters are allowed.
tgid Specifies an ID number for the trunk. The range is 1 to
6. If this parameter is omitted, the default is the next
available ID number.
port Specifies the ports of the trunk. You can specify the
ports individually (for example, 5, 7, 22), as a range (for
example, 18-23), or both (for example, 1, 5, 14-22).
select Specifies the load distribution method. Options are:
macsrc Source MAC address.
macdest Destination MAC address.
macboth Source address/destination MAC
address.
ipsrc Source IP address.
ipdest Destination IP address.
ipboth Source address/destination IP
address.
Description
This command creates a static port trunk. To create the trunk, you specify
the ports of the trunk and the load distribution method.
Caution
Do not connect the cables to the trunk ports on the switches until
after you have created the trunk in the management software.
Connecting the cables before configuring the software will create a
loop in your network topology. Data loops can result in broadcast
storms and poor network performance.
