Port Trunking is a feature that enables multiple links between switches to work as one virtual link
(aggregate link). Trunks can be defined for similar port types only. For example, a 10/100 port
cannot form a Port Trunk with a gigabit port. Trunks can only be formed within the same bank.
This page displays the Trunk status. The default Trunk setting is all groups disabled. To configure
user-defined Trunk groups, go to the Switch> Trunking page.
If the IEEE802.1Q VLAN is enabled, this page displays the VLAN tag status.

management functions of the switch. The switch only responds to login requests from
computers whose IP addresses appear in its list. The
Add button brings up a window into

a few additions is shown below.
