The Port Trunking Window
The Port Trunking window features the trunking table (in the upper portion of
the window), which displays the following information about each interface for
which trunking is enabled:
Index
Displays the port’s strunkIfIndex identifier.
State
Indicates the port’s trunking condition (strunkState). The possible states are:
• closed — trunking is enabled, and the trunking protocol is attempting to
establish a trunk connection, but the port has not yet received any trunking
PDUs.
• oneway — trunking is enabled, and the trunking protocol is attempting to
establish a trunk connection, but incoming trunking PDUs do not indicate that
the ATX’s trunking PDUs are being successfully received at the other end of
the link.
• joined — trunking is enabled, the trunking protocol has established a good
trunk connection, and the port is actively participating in the trunk group.
• perturbed — trunking is enabled, the trunking protocol has established a good
trunk connection, and the port is actively participating in the trunk group;
however, the transmission of data packets has been temporarily stopped due
to a change in trunk group membership.
