Port Trunking
Menu: Viewing and Configuring a Static Trunk Group
12-10
• For proper trunk operation, all ports in a trunk must have the same
media type and mode (such as 10/100TX set to 100FDx, or 100FX set
to 100FDx). The flow control settings must also be the same for all
ports in a given trunk. To verify these settings, see "Viewing Port
Status and Configuring Port Parameters" on page 10-2.
• You can configure the trunk group with up to eight ports per trunk. If
multiple VLANs are configured, all ports within a trunk will be
assigned to the same VLAN or set of VLANs. (With the 802.1Q VLAN
capability built into the switch, more than one VLAN can be assigned
to a trunk. Refer to the chapter titled "Static Virtual LANs (VLANs)"
in the Advanced Traffic Management Guide for your switch.)
(To return a port to a non-trunk status, keep pressing the Space bar
until a blank appears in the highlighted Group value for that port.)

Space bar to select the trunk type:
– LACP
– Trunk (the default type if you do not specify a type)
– FEC (Fast EtherChannel
All ports in the same trunk group on the same switch must have the same
Type (LACP, Trunk, or FEC).
7. When you are finished assigning ports to the trunk group, press
then (for Save) and return to the Main Menu. (It is not necessary to
