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