Configuration parameters storage

All configuration parameters are stored in flash memory. These parameters are
updated every 10 seconds (if a change occurs) or whenever a reset command is
executed.
Note: Do not power off the switch within 10 seconds of changing any
configuration parameters. Powering down the switch within 10 seconds
of changing configuration parameters can cause the changed
configuration parameters to be lost.

MultiLink Trunking

Note: For information on configuring VLANs, STGs, and MLTs, refer
to "STG configuration guidelines" on page
The MultiLink Trunking feature allows you to group multiple ports, two to four
together, when forming a link to another switch or server, thus increasing
aggregate throughput of the interconnection between two devices, up to 800 Mb/s
in full-duplex mode. The Business Policy Switch can be configured with up to six
MultiLink Trunks. The trunk members can be configured within a single unit in
the stack or distributed between any of the units within the stack configuration
(distributed trunking).
For more information about the MultiLink Trunking feature, refer to
"Network configuration."
