Using MultiLink Trunking Manager
In the MultiLink Trunking Manager navigation pane, the navigation tree shows
the IP addresses of discovered devices. Icons associated with IP addresses on the
branches indicate the following types of MLT:
• Trunk—a switch that links to another device in the network and has MLT
configurations.
• No trunk—a switch that links to another device in the network but does not
have an active MLT configured.
• Isolated—a switch connected only to a hub.
Viewing trunk connections
You can view the trunk connections for an MLT and configure new trunks to
increase bandwidth.
To view trunk connections:
The Trunk table opens in the contents pane (Figure 43) .
In the navigation pane, select a device that is represented by a trunk icon.
