Trunk management menu

Link aggregation, also called trunking, allows multiple 802.3 MAC interfaces to be
grouped together logically to appear as one super-link. The super-link or Link
Aggregation Group (LAG) has access to the combined bandwidth of all links. Link
aggregation also provides automatic, point-to-point redundancy between two
devices (switch-to-switch). Each link in the trunk must be running at the same link
speed and in full-duplex mode (half-duplex mode is not supported).
Configuring a trunk
To configure (or create) a trunk, select Device Configuration on the Main Menu,
then select Trunk Management. The Trunk Status Menu (Figure 41 on page 59) is
displayed; it consist of two panels; Page 1 of 2 and Page 2 of 2. You can define up
to four trunks on each of these panels for a total of 8 trunks. To Configure a trunk,
complete the configuration information on the Trunk Status Menu, then move the
cursor to the ifIndex field, press Enter, and the Configure Trunk Menu (Figure 42 on
page 60) is displayed. Complete the configuration information on the Configure
Trunk Menu.
