15.6 Static Trunking Example

This example shows you how to create a static port trunk group for ports 2-5.
Make your physical connections - make sure that the ports that you want to belong to the trunk
1
group are connected to the same destination. The following figure shows ports 2-5 on switch A
connected to switch B.

DESCRIPTION
Select this option to enable LACP for a trunk.
This field displays the port number.
Settings in this row apply to all ports.
Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this row first
to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port basis.
Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.
Timeout is the time interval between the individual port exchanges of LACP packets in order
to check that the peer port in the trunk group is still up. If a port does not respond after
three tries, then it is deemed to be "down" and is removed from the trunk. Set a short
timeout (one second) for busy trunked links to ensure that disabled ports are removed from
the trunk group as soon as possible.
Select either 1 second or 30 seconds.
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
