Ports - Trunking - N-Tron 7014TX User Manual & Installation Manual

Ports – Trunking
The Trunking tab under the Ports category displays a list of trunks configured on the switch and the
following details regarding each trunk:
Trunk Name
Trunk Ports
Trunk State
By selecting the "Create" button, you can add a trunk group.
NOTE: RSTP must be disabled in order to use the Trunking Feature.
A maximum of 4 ports of the same speed can constitute a valid trunk.
Only 1 Trunk per switch can be created.
All trunk ports must be at the same speed and duplex mode. If a port is not linked, there could be
difficulty as to similar speed and duplex mode. It is best to hard code speed and duplex mode for
each trunking link, at both ends.
When trunking the gigabit ports it's best to route switchA GB1 to switchB GB1 and switchA GB2 to
switchB GB2.
Do not use Trunking on a switch that is directly in an active N-Ring.
