Foundry Switch and Router Installation and Configuration Guide
USING THE NETWORK MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
To configure ports 5 – 8 as a trunk group between two switches, two routers, or a Layer 2 or Layer 3 Switch and a
server:
1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
2. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to display the configuration options.
3. Select the Trunk link.
• If the device does not have any trunk groups configured, the Trunk configuration panel is displayed, as
shown in the following example.
• If a trunk group is already configured and you are adding a new one, click on the Add Trunk Group link to
display the Trunk configuration panel, as shown in the following example.
• If you are modifying an existing trunk group, click on the Modify button to the right of the row describing
the trunk group to display the Trunk configuration panel, as shown in the following example.
NOTE: This panel lists port ranges only for the slots that contain an active module. In addition, only the
ranges that are valid for the module are listed.
The port ranges listed by the panel contain four ports, but the default number of ports in a group is two. If you
select a group and leave the number of ports in a group at two, the software assigns the first two ports in the
group you select to the trunk group. The last two ports do not become members of the trunk group.
4. Select a port range (for example, 5 – 8). On Chassis devices, the port numbers include the slot numbers. For
example, you can select 1/5 – 1/8.
5. Select the number of ports you want to use in the trunk group. You can select 2 or 4.
6. Click in the checkbox next to Server to place a checkmark in the box if the other end of the trunk group is a
server. If the other end of the connection is a Foundry Layer 2 or Layer 3 Switch, do not click this checkbox.
7. Click Apply to save the changes to the device's running-config file.
8. Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device's flash memory.
9. Click on the plus sign next to Command in the tree view to list the command options.
