Table 32 MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen fields

Field Description
Trunk Column header for the read-only fields in this screen. The read-only data displayed in the
Trunk column indicates the trunk (1 to 6) that corresponds to the switch ports specified in
the user-configurable Trunk Members fields.
Trunk Members The Trunk Members column contains fields in each row that can be configured to create
(Unit/Port) the corresponding trunk. The Unit value in the (Unit/Port) field is configurable only when
the switch (unit) is part of a stack configuration. It indicates that the trunk members in
this row are associated with the specified unit number configured in the Unit field. Each
switch port can only be a member of a single trunk.
Default Value
Range
STP Learning The STP Learning column contains a single field for each row that, when enabled, allows
the specified trunk to participate in the spanning tree. This setting overrides those of the
individual trunk members.
Fast is the same as Normal, except that the state transition timer is shortened to two
seconds.
Default Value
Range
Trunk Mode The Trunk Mode column contains a single read only field for each row that indicates the
default operating mode for the switch.
Basic: Basic mode is the default mode for the switch. When in this mode, source MAC
addresses are dynamically assigned to specific trunk members for flooding and
forwarding, which allows the switch to stabilize and distribute the data streams of source
addresses across the trunk members.
Trunk Status The Trunk Status column contains a single field for each row that allows users to enable
or disable any of the trunks.
Default Value
Range
Trunk Name The Trunk Name column contains a single optional field in each row that can be used to
assign names to the corresponding configured trunks. The names chosen for this
example can provide meaningful information to the user (for example, S1:T1 to FS2
indicates Trunk 1, in switch S1 connects to File Server 2).
