Selection
screen shown previously. Aggregate between two and four ports to each trunk.
1
The last two bits are “81” which is “10000001” binary. Exclusive Or these last two (least significant) bits (01) to give “1”.
2
The last two bits are “9B” which is “10011011” binary. Exclusive Or these last two bits (11) to give “0”. [1,0] maps to trunk
port 2 according to the table above. As Trunk 2 is selected, trunk port 2 is Port 4.
3
The last two bits are “80” which is “10000000” binary. Exclusive Or these last two bits (00) to give “0”.
4
The last two bits are “9A” which is “10011010” binary. Exclusive Or these last two bits (10) to give “1”. [0,1] maps to trunk
port 3 according to the table above. As Trunk 2 is selected, trunk port 3 is Port 5.
