Configuring Your ELS100-16TX

3-9

Figure 3-2. Trunk Groups

To enable trunking for the example shown, perform the following:

1. Connect the desired ports of the ELS100-16TXs together using

100BASE-T crossover cables.

If ELS100-16TX A is handling only a small number of users,
the A to B Trunk Group could have just two ports per ELS100-
16TX. If ELS100-16TX B and C are expected to interconnect
many users, you could use up to eight ports in the B to C
Trunk Group.

2. Using LCM or an NMS, turn on trunking for the connected

ports on each ELS100-16TX.

For ELS100-16TX A, at the LCM prompt:
