• The ports at both ends of a trunk must be configured in an identical
manner, including communication mode (i.e., speed, duplex mode and
flow control), VLAN assignments, and CoS settings.
• All the ports in a trunk have to be treated as a whole when moved from/
to, added or deleted from a VLAN.
• The same STP, VLAN, and IGMP settings must be configured for all the
ports in a trunk.
Configuring Static Trunks
You can manually assign specific ports to a static trunk.
Command Usage
• To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure that you add a static
trunk via the Web interface before connecting the ports, and also
disconnect ports before removing a static trunk via the Web interface.
• When using static trunks, you may not be able to link to switches of
different types, depending on the manufacturer’s implementation.
