SmartTrunk Configuration Screen
The SmartTrunk Configuration screen, Figure 5-25, allows the user to
logically group interfaces together between devices to achieve greater
bandwidth between the devices.
To access the SmartTrunk Configuration screen from the Module Specific
Configuration Menu screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the
SMARTTRUNK CONFIGURATION menu item and press ENTER.
The SmartTrunk Configuration screen displays.
The SmartTrunk Configuration screen may not be available if
the operational mode of the module has been set to 802.1Q
SWITCHING. Refer to your Release Notes to see if the
SmartTrunking feature is supported.
Section 5.15.9 describes how to set the operational mode.
Interfaces with the Port Name “Backplane” and “Host” may
display on this screen. These ports may not be used for
SmartTrunking. Poor network performance will result if
backplane ports are used as SmartTrunk interfaces.
Section 5.20.1 details all SmartTrunk configuration rules.
The DLE28-MA ports must be connected to a DIGITAL product
that supports SmartTrunking for load sharing to function.
