Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
To delete a trunk group:
1. Disconnect the ports to the server or Routing Switch at the other end of the trunk.
2. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
3. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to display the configuration options.
4. Select the Trunk link to display a table listing the configured trunk groups.
5. Click the Delete button next to the trunk group you want to delete.
6. Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device's flash memory.
7. Click on the plus sign next to Command in the tree view to list the command options.
8. Select the Reload link and select Yes when the Web management interface asks you whether you really want
to reload the software.
NOTE: If the other end of the trunk group is a Routing Switch, log in to the other system and follow the
applicable steps above.
Enabling Optimized Server Trunk Load Balancing (T-Flow only)
You to optimize individual ports for server trunk load balancing. An optimized port load balances based on source
and destination IP address but uses a smaller session table, which enables the port to more quickly forward traffic
received on the port to the server trunk group ports.
NOTE: This enhancement applies only to the T-Flow.
NOTE: This enhancement applies to server trunk groups only, not to switch trunk groups.
Without optimization, the device performs the following types of load balancing for IP traffic.
Layer 2
The load balancing occurs at Layer 2 if the traffic is being forwarded in hardware. IP traffic on a server trunk group
is load balanced as follows:
• On a Routing Switch:
• IP traffic received on a 10/100 port or Gigabit port is load balanced based on destination IP address.
Layer 3
If any of the following features are enabled on a port, load balancing occurs in software using the entries in the
session table. In this case, the IP traffic is load balanced based on source and destination IP address.
• A CLs
• Rate limiting (Fixed Rate Limiting or Adaptive Rate Limiting)
• N etFlow
• sFlow Export
• Network Address Translation (NAT)
• Policy-Based Routing (PBR)
If you do not have any of these features enabled on the port but you still want to load balance the traffic based on
source and destination IP address, you can do so by enabling the server trunk load balancing optimization feature.
Even if you do have one of the features above configured on the port, you can enhance load balancing
