DES-6500 Chassis-based Layer 3 Ethernet Switch Manual
The Spanning Tree Protocol will treat a link aggregation group as a single link, on the switch level. On the port level, the
STP will use the port parameters of the Master Port in the calculation of port cost and in determining the state of the link
aggregation group. If two redundant link aggregation groups are configured on the Switch, STP will block one entire
group, in the same way STP will block a single port that has a redundant link.
To configure port trunking, open the Link Aggregation folder and click on the Link Aggregation Configuration
hyperlink in the Configuration folder to bring up the Link Aggregation Group Entries table:

To configure port trunk groups, click the Add button to add a new trunk group and use the Link Aggregation Settings
menu (see example below) to set up trunk groups. To modify a port trunk group, click the hyperlinked group number
corresponding to the entry you wish to alter. To delete a port trunk group, click the corresponding under the Delete
heading in the Current Link Aggregation Group Entries table.
