Overview
This chapter includes:
■
Configuring ports to non-default settings (page 10-2)
These settings include enable/disable, mode (speed and duplex), flow
control, port-trunk group, and port-trunk type. You can also set a
broadcast limit that applies to all ports on the switch.
■ Port aggregation: Creating and modifying a port trunk group (page 10-10)
You can configure static and dynamic trunks. Includes non-protocol
trunks, LACP (802.3ad) trunks, and FEC trunks.
■
Configuring port-based priority for incoming packets (page 10-34)
This feature enables you to prioritize inbound traffic that either
carries an 802.1Q VLAN tag with a priority of 0 (zero) or is not a tagged
VLAN packet.
