DESCRIPTION
This is read-only if you are editing an existing trunk. When adding a new
trunk, enter a descriptive name for this trunk. You may use 1-31
alphanumeric characters, underscores(
character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive.
Select a load balancing method to use from the drop-down list box.
Select Weighted Round Robin to balance the traffic load between
interfaces based on their respective weights. Weighted round robin is
activated only when the first group member interface has more traffic
than it can handle.
Select Least Load First to send new session traffic through the least
utilized trunk member.
Select Spillover to send network traffic through the first interface in the
group member list until there is enough traffic that the second interface
needs to be used (and so on).
This column displays the priorities of the group's interfaces. The order of
the interfaces in the list is important since they are used in the order they
are listed.
Click this icon to open a screen where you can select an interface to be a
group member.
If you select an interface that is part of another Ethernet interface, the
ZyWALL does not send traffic through the interface as part of the trunk.
For example, if you have physical port 5 in the ge2 representative
interface, you must select interface ge2 in order to send traffic through
port 5 as part of the trunk. If you select interface ge5 as a member here,
the ZyWALL will not send traffic through port 5 as part of the trunk.
