Trunk Configuration (Link Aggregation)
Configure port trunk settings
Bridge > Trunk Config > Trunking
The trunking function aggregates two or more links to a single combined
link with larger total bandwidth. Up to 8 trunk groups can be created.
Each group combines up to 8 ports in static trunking (manual mode) and
10 ports in LACP dynamic negotiation (Active, Passive). Add a trunking
Name and select the ports to be combined together, and then click Apply
to activate the selected group.
Important Note: Do not connect the cables of a port trunk to the ports on the switch
until you have configured the ports on both the switch and the end nodes.
Connecting the cables prior to configuring the ports can create loops in your
network topology. Loops can result in broadcast storms which can severely limited
the effective bandwidth of your network.
