Port Trunking
Guidelines
When creating a port trunk, you need to follow a set of guidelines.
Observe the following guidelines when creating a port trunk:
❑ An AT-8400 switch can support up to 8 trunks at a time.
❑ You can assign only one trunk to a line card. However, you can
assign all, none, or some of the ports on a line card to a trunk.
❑ A port can belong to a single trunk only.
❑ A port trunk can consist of a maximum of 8 ports.
❑ The ports of a port trunk must be of the same medium type. For
example, they can be all twisted-pair ports or all fiber optic ports.
