Creating a Port Trunk

This section contains the procedure for creating a port trunk on the
switch. Be sure to review the guidelines in Port Trunking Overview on
page 78 before performing the procedure.

Caution

Do not connect the cables to the ports in a port trunk until after you
have configured the trunk with the management software.
Connecting the cables before configuring the software will create a
loop in your network topology, possibly resulting in broadcast
storms and poor network performance.
