Configuring Your SmartSTACK Ethernet ELS10-27

3.6 DISPLAYING BRIDGING FUNCTIONS

To display the bridging functions that are enabled for all ports, at the
LCM prompt:
1. Type
bridge
LCM responds with a list of all ports and the bridging function that is
enabled. For example, typing
status for all ports.
Usage: bridge [PORT-RANGE [{off|on|noBPDU{]]
Port 1 bridging: Transparent Bridging
Port 2 bridging: Transparent Bridging
Port 3 bridging: Transparent Bridging
Port 4 bridging: Transparent Bridging
Port 27 bridging: off
You could also type
of ports. For example
for ports 2, 3, and 4.

3.7 ENABLING TRUNKING

If your network conÞguration requires you to connect two or more
SmartSTACK Ethernet ELS10-27s (or other devices capable of trunking)
together, but the applications you are running over the network require
more than 100 Mbps of bandwidth per connection, you can use the built-
in trunking feature to increase bandwidth up to 600 Mbps, without
installing additional hardware on your network.
Trunking is a Cabletron Systems proprietary extension to the 802.1D
Spanning Tree algorithm. It enables you to use multiple segments to
connect SmartSTACK Ethernet ELS10-27s together, while maintaining
Þrst-in, Þrst-out ordering of Ethernet packets. In addition, if any of the
Ethernet segments conÞgured for trunking become inoperable, those
Ethernet segments are automatically bypassed.
