CREATE SWITCH TRUNK
Syntax
create switch trunk= name 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.
port Specifies the ports to be added to the port 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

ipsrc Source IP address.
ipdest Destination IP address.

Description
This command creates a static port trunk. To create the trunk, you specify
the ports on the switch that will constitute the trunk.
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.
