Creating or Deleting 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. Loops can result in
broadcast storms, which can adversely effect the operations of your
network.
If you are deleting a port trunk, disconnect the cables from the ports
before you delete the trunk. Deleting the trunk without first
disconnecting the data cables can create a loop in your network
topology, which can result in broadcast storms.
To create or delete 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 management software displays the Port Trunking menu in
Figure 80.
Figure 80 Port Trunking Menu
If the switch does not contain a port trunk, all ports in the switch
image will be black. If there is a port trunk, the ports of the trunk
will be white.
