Creating a Port Trunk

Caution

Do not connect the cables of a port trunk to the ports on the switch
until after you have configured the ports on both the switch and the
end node. Connecting the cables prior to configuring the ports can
create loops in your network topology, which can result in
broadcast storms and poor network performance.

To create a port trunk, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Home page, select Configuration.

2. From the Configuration page, select Layer 1.

3. Select the Port Trunking tab.

The Port Trunking tab window in Figure 87 is displayed.

4. Select the Module pull-down list and choose the switch where you

want to create the port trunk.

5. Click Create.
