Guideline 8: Creating Port Trunks on Expansion Modules

The ports on some expansion modules can be grouped together to form
port trunks. Refer to Table 4 to determine if your expansion modules
support port trunking.

Creating a Port

Trunk

To create a port trunk, perform the following procedure:

created.

optional expansion modules.
