Configure port trunk settings (Trunk/Link Aggregation)
Network > Trunk
The trunking function enables the cascading of two or more ports for a combined larger
total bandwidth. Up to 4 trunk groups may be created, each supporting up to 8 ports. Add
a trunking Name and select the ports to be trunked together, and click Apply to activate
the selected trunking groups.
Important Note:
Do not connect the cables of a port trunk to the ports on the switch
until you have configured the ports on both the switch and the end nodes. Connecting
the cables prior to configuring the ports can create loops in your network topology.
Loops can result in broadcast storms which can severely limited the effective bandwidth
of your network.
