DMAC: All traffic with the same destination MAC address is output on the
same link in a trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-switch trunk
links where traffic through the switch is destined for many different hosts.
Do not use this mode for switch-to-router trunk links where the destina-
tion MAC address is the same for all traffic.
■ SMAC XOR DMAC: The four least significant bits of the source and
destination MAC addresses in a frame are used to determine the output
link in the trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-switch trunk links
where traffic through the switch is received from and destined for many
different hosts. (This mode is the default setting.)
■ SMAC XOR DMAC XOR IP-Info: The source and destination MAC
addresses and IP information in a frame are used to determine the output
link in the trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-switch trunk links
where traffic through the switch is received from and destined for many
different hosts.
■ Pseudo-randomized: The output link in the trunk is randomly selected.
This mode is useful for networks where frame ordering within conversa-
tions can be neglected and where a high utilization of aggregated links is
important.
■ IP-Info: The source and destination IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports in a
frame are used to determine the output link in the trunk. This mode works
best for switch-to-router trunk links where traffic through the switch is
received from and destined for many different hosts.
Defining the Members of a Trunk
1. On the Trunks Membership page, click on the radio button in any one of
these columns of the corresponding trunk.
For example, if you want ports 2, 3, 4, and 5 to become members of
Trunk 2, click the radio buttons for 2, 3, 4, and 5 under the column labeled
“Trunk T2.”
2. Click APPLY.
Deleting the Members of a Trunk
1. On the Trunks Membership page, click on the radio button under the
column labeled “Not a Trunk Member” for any port you want to remove
from a trunk. To delete a trunk, remove all port members from that trunk.
For example, if you want to remove ports 2, 3, 4, and 5 from Trunk 2, click
the radio buttons for 2, 3, 4, and 5 under the column labeled “Not a Trunk
Member”.
