Port Trunking - Dell PowerConnect 3048 User Manual

Port Trunking

In the Port Trunking page, you can create multiple links between switches
that work as one virtual, aggregate link. You can create four trunks at a time,
with each trunk containing up to eight ports. Only ports of the same speed
can belong to a single trunk: 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports and Gigabit
Ethernet ports cannot be in the same trunk.
NOTICE: Fast Ethernet trunks can only include ports from a single eight-port
cluster: Ports 1 to 8, ports 9 to 16, ports 17 to 24, ports 25 to 32, ports 33 to
40, or ports 41 to 48.
NOTICE: Built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T ports cannot be trunked with GBIC
ports.
To add a port to a trunk, click the toggle button below the port number
until the correct trunk number appears.
Use the arrow keys to navigate to the port and trunk intersection that you
want to edit. Press the spacebar to enable or disable trunking.
NOTICE: All ports participating in a trunk must be operating in Full Duplex
mode.
NOTICE: All ports participating in a trunk should have the same VLAN and
CoS settings.
