You can use the Port Trunking Configuration screen to set up port trunks as shown below:
The port groups permitted include:
To add a trunk, select <Add>. To delete a trunk, highlight the required entry and select “Delete
trunk # setting.” Before disconnecting a port trunk, take the following steps:
• Before removing a port trunk via the configuration menu, you must disable all the ports in the
trunk or remove all the network cables. Otherwise, a loop may be created.
• To disable a single link within a port trunk, you should first remove the network cable, and then
disable both ends of the link via the configuration menu. This allows the traffic passing across
that link to be automatically distributed to the other links in the trunk, without losing any
significant amount of traffic.
