To ensure more accurate measurement of the length to a fault, first
disable power-saving mode on the link partner before running cable
diagnostics.
For link-down ports, the reported distance to a fault is accurate to
within +/- 2 meters. For link-up ports, the accuracy is +/- 10 meters.
The switch can only perform cable diagnostics for 10/100 Mbps ports in
link-down state (without a partner), or for 1 Gbps ports in link-down
state (without a partner) or in link-up state (with a partner).

This section describes how to configure static and dynamic trunks.
You can create multiple links between devices that work as one virtual,
aggregate link. A port trunk offers a dramatic increase in bandwidth for
network segments where bottlenecks exist, as well as providing a fault-
tolerant link between two devices. You can create up to 5 trunks at a time
on the switch.
The switch supports both static trunking and dynamic Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP). Static trunks have to be manually configured at
both ends of the link, and the switches must comply with the Cisco
