Number of Members
The number of contiguous ports in
the selected trunk group.
State
Allows the trunk group to be Enabled or
Disabled.
Anchor
The same as the master port.
The RJ-45 ports used for each trunk must all be on the same
internal switch chip. The port groups permitted include:
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4
1,2,3,4,
5,6,7,8,
9,10,11,12,
25,26
13,14,15,16
17,18,19,20
21,22,23,24
Only two ports on an optional front-panel module (ports 25 and
26) can be configured as a trunk group.
BOOTP/DHCP Relay
BOOTP/DHCP relay enables end stations to use a BOOTP or
DHCP server to obtain TCP/IP configuration information or boot
files to be loaded into memory, even if the servers are not on the
local IP interface.
If the BOOTP or DCHP server and end station are on the same
IP interface, no relay is necessary. If the servers and the end
stations are on different IP interfaces, a relay agent is necessary
for the switch to forward the messages.
The relay agent forwards these packets between IP interfaces,
and therefore must know the IP addresses of the BOOTP and
DHCP servers and their respective subnet names (or IP
interface names).
