Port Trunking - EnGenius EWS Series User Manual

Port Trunking

Port Trunking allows you to assign physical links to one logical link that functions as a single,
higher-speed link, providing dramatically increased bandwidth. Use Port Trunking to bundle multiple
connections and use the combined bandwidth as if it were a single larger "pipe".
Important:
You must enable Trunk Mode before you can add a port to a trunk group.
Group Displays the number of the given trunk group. You can utilize up to 8 link
aggregation groups and each group consisting up to 8 ports on the Switch.
Active Ports Displays the active participating members of the trunk group.
Member Port Select the ports you wish to add into the trunk group. Up to eight ports per
group can be assigned.
Static: The Link Aggregation is configured manually for specified trunk group.
LACP: The Link Aggregation is configured dynamically for specified trunk group.
Mode LACP allows for the automatic detection of links in a port trunking group when
connected to a LACP-compliant Switch. You will need to ensure that both the
Switch and device connected to are in the same mode in order for them to
function, otherwise they will not work. Static configuration is used when
connecting to a Switch that does not support LACP.
