Configuring Smarttrunk S - Enterasys 5G1XX Local Management User’s Manual

5. For each Trunk ID, select ENABLE to enable the trunk.
NOTE: It is advisable to enable the trunk prior to connecting any cable between the
switches to avoid creating a loop.
When using port trunks, remember that:
•
Before removing a port trunk via the configuration menu, you must disable all the ports in the
trunk or remove all the network cables. Otherwise, a loop may be created.
•
To disable a single link within a port trunk, you should first remove the network cable, and then
disable both ends of the link via the configuration menu. This allows the traffic passing across
that link to be automatically distributed to the other links in the trunk, without losing any
significant amount of traffic.
