Figure 4- 5. Port Trunking Configuration menu
The user-changeable parameters are as follows:
Parameter Description
Group ID Select an ID number for the group.
State
Trunk groups can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled . This is used
to turn a port trunking group on or off. This is useful for diagnostics, to
quickly isolate a bandwidth intensive network device or to have an
absolute backup aggregation group that is not under automatic control.
Type
This pull-down menu allows you to select between Static and LACP (Link
Aggregation Control Protocol.) LACP allows for the automatic detection of
links in a Port Trunking Group.
Master Port Choose the Master port for the trunk group.
Member Unit
Choose the Switch unit on which to set up a trunk group. Trunk groups
must be confined to ports on a single Switch.
Port Map Choose the members of the trunked group. Up to eight ports per group
can be assigned to a group.
Flooding Port
A trunking group must designate one port to allow transmission of
broadcasts and unknown unicasts.
Active Port Shows the port that is currently forwarding packets.
