9.11.2 Configuring the System Default Trunk

In the Configuration > Network > Interface > Trunk screen and the System Default section, select the
default trunk entry and click Edit to open the following screen. Use this screen to change the load
balancing algorithm and view the bandwidth allocations for each member interface.
Note: The available bandwidth is allocated to each member interface equally and is not
allowed to be changed for the default trunk.
Chapter 9 Interfaces
DESCRIPTION
Click this table cell and select an interface to be a group member.
If you select an interface that is part of another Ethernet interface, the Zyxel Device does
not send traffic through the interface as part of the trunk. For example, if you have physical
port 5 in the ge2 representative interface, you must select interface ge2 in order to send
traffic through port 5 as part of the trunk. If you select interface ge5 as a member here, the
Zyxel Device will not send traffic through port 5 as part of the trunk.
Click this table cell and select Active to have the Zyxel Device always attempt to use this
connection.
Select Passive to have the Zyxel Device only use this connection when all of the
connections set to active are down. You can only set one of a group's interfaces to passive
mode.
This field displays with the weighted round robin load balancing algorithm. Specify the
weight (1~10) for the interface. The weights of the different member interfaces form a ratio.
This ratio determines how much traffic the Zyxel Device assigns to each member interface.
The higher an interface's weight is (relative to the weights of the interfaces), the more
sessions that interface should handle.
This is reserved for future use.
This field displays with the least load first load balancing algorithm. It displays the maximum
number of kilobits of data the Zyxel Device is to allow to come in through the interface per
second.
Note: You can configure the bandwidth of an interface in the corresponding
interface edit screen.
This field displays with the least load first or spillover load balancing algorithm. It displays the
maximum number of kilobits of data the Zyxel Device is to send out through the interface
per second.
Note: You can configure the bandwidth of an interface in the corresponding
interface edit screen.
This field displays with the spillover load balancing algorithm. Specify the maximum
bandwidth of traffic in kilobits per second (1~1048576) to send out through the interface
before using another interface. When this spillover bandwidth limit is exceeded, the Zyxel
Device sends new session traffic through the next interface. The traffic of existing sessions
still goes through the interface on which they started.
The Zyxel Device uses the group member interfaces in the order that they are listed.
Click OK to save your changes back to the Zyxel Device.
Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving.
