Action
From the main menu, choose Configuration > Port > Trunk
Membership.
In the Trunk field, type a trunk ID of 1 to 6.
Select a port.
Click Add.
Value
Lists configured trunks (Trunk ID, Unit, Port).
Includes entry fields for creating new trunks. (For trunk
membership: Trunk identifier. Range: 1 to 6.) (For port
membership: Port identifier. Range: 1 to 24.)
To avoid creating a loop in the network, enable LACP before you connect
the ports, and disconnect the ports before you disable LACP.
After LACP is enabled on the connected ports, the trunk is activated
automatically.
A trunk formed with another switch by using LACP is automatically
assigned to the next available trunk ID.
If more than four ports attached to the same target switch are
LACP-enabled, the additional ports are placed in standby mode and are
enabled only if one of the active links fails.
All ports on both ends of an LACP trunk must be configured for full
duplex, either by forced mode or autonegotiation.
Trunks dynamically established through LACP are shown in the Member
List on the Trunk Membership listing.
