Figure 6-47. Configure Trunk screen
The fields you can set are:
♦ Master There are three listings representing the master port for each of the three trunk groups available on the
Switch. The master port for each group is preset and cannot be changed.
♦ Width Select between 2 to 8 ports in the first two entries for this field. The number of ports defined here start from
the master port and count up. Thus, in the example pictured above containing a width of 5 ports in the first trunk, the
ports in the trunk group will include ports 7 (master), 8, 9, 10 and 11. The third entry (used for 2-port front-panel
modules) has a permanent setting of 2 ports.
♦ Group name Enter the desired group name.
♦ Status Enables or disables this trunk group. Be careful when disabling trunk groups as the connections will return to
normal operation and may cause signal loops.
Press APPLY to let the changes take effect.
