Trunk Group #1
To enable trunking for the example shown, perform the following:
1. Connect the desired ports of the ELS100-16TXs together using
100BASE-T crossover cables.
If ELS100-16TX A is handling only a small number of users,
the A to B Trunk Group could have just two ports per ELS100-
16TX. If ELS100-16TX B and C are expected to interconnect
many users, you could use up to eight ports in the B to C
Trunk Group.
2. Using LCM or an NMS, turn on trunking for the connected
ports on each ELS100-16TX.
For ELS100-16TX A, at the LCM prompt:
a. Type
trunk 2,3 on
