Creating a Port Trunk
This section contains the procedure for creating a port trunk on a stack.
Be sure to review the guidelines in the Port Trunking Overview on
page 67 before performing this procedure.
Caution
Do not connect the cables to the trunk ports on the stack 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. Data loops can result in broadcast
storms and poor network performance.
To create a port trunk, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type A to select Advanced Switch
Configuration.
2. From the Advanced Switch Configuration Menu, type T to select
Trunk Configuration.
The Trunk Configuration Menu is displayed in Figure 20.

in the stack on which you want to create the port trunk.
