❑
When cabling a trunk, the order of the connections should be
maintained on both nodes. The lowest numbered port in a trunk
on the switch should be connected to the lowest numbered port
of the trunk on the other device, the next lowest numbered port
on the switch should be connected to the next lowest numbered
port on the other device, and so on.
For example, assume that you are connecting a trunk between
two AT-8326GB switches. On the first AT-8326GB switch you
had chosen ports 12, 13, 14, 15 for the trunk. On the second
AT-8326GB switch you had chosen ports 21, 22, 23, and 24. To
maintain the order of the port connections, you would
connect port 12 on the first AT-8326GB switch to port 21 on
the second AT-8326GB, port 13 to port 22, and so on.
❑
The ports of a port trunk must be members of the same VLAN. A
port trunk cannot consist of ports from different VLANs.
❑
You can create a port trunk of optional GBIC modules installed in
the Port 25 and Port 26 slots of an AT-8326GB switch.
Figure 18 shows an example of a port trunk between an AT-8326GB
switch and a network server. The server is connected to the switch with
four data links. The links are connected to ports 1 through 4 on the
switch.
