DESCRIPTION
Enter a descriptive name for this trunk. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters,
underscores( _ ), or dashes (-), but the first 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.
Select Active to have the ZyWALL always attempt to use this connection.
Select Passive to have the ZyWALL only use this connection when all of the
connections set to active are down. You can only set one of a group's interfaces to
passive mode.
This field displays with the weighted round robin load balancing algorithm. Specify
the weight (1~10) for the interface. The weights of the different member interfaces
form a ratio. This ratio determines how much traffic the ZyWALL sends through each
member interface. The higher an interface's weight is (relative to the weights of the
interfaces), the more traffic the ZyWALL sends through that interface.
This field displays with the least load first load balancing algorithm. It displays the
maximum number of kilobits of data the ZyWALL is to send out through the interface
per second.
This field displays with the least load first or spillover load balancing algorithm. It
displays the maximum number of kilobits of data the ZyWALL is to allow to come in
through the interface per second.
