Trunk Membership - HP nj2000 User Manual

Trunk Membership

This page allows you to create a maximum of 4 trunks of up to 4 ports each. For instructions on how to create,
modify, and delete trunks, please see
The Membership Table has one row for each port and a column for each trunk, plus an additional column for ports
that are not members of a trunk. Each row contains radio buttons which are used to indicate which trunk (if any) the
port belongs to. Each radio button is in a column of its own. The columns are:
Port - The front-panel port number.
Not a Trunk Member - If the radio button in this column is selected, the port is not a member of any
trunks. This is the default state.
Trunk T1 - T4 - These columns correspond to the 4 trunks that are supported by the switch. Clicking on
the radio button in any one of these columns causes the port to become a member of the corresponding
trunk. Each trunk can have a maximum of 4 ports, and a minimum of 2 ports.
When a trunk is first created it is given the following, default configuration:
Speed/Duplex is set to Auto Speed (see TRUNKS > Configuration)
Flow Control is turned off (see TRUNKS > Configuration)
The trunk is a member of VLAN 1 with a PVID of 1. The trunk will accept both tagged and untagged
packets (see VLANS > VLAN Settings)
Ports that are removed from a trunk retain the configuration (i.e. Speed, Duplex, and Flow Control) that they had
when they were members of the trunk. Ports that are added to the trunk after its creation, inherit the current
configuration of the trunk.
You can configure the trunks from the TRUNKS > Configuration page.
