Creating or Deleting a Port Trunk
Caution
Do not connect the cables of a port trunk to the ports on the switch
until after you have configured the ports on both the switch and the
end node. Connecting the cables prior to configuring the ports can
create loops in your network topology. Loops can result in
broadcast storms, which can adversely effect the operations of your
network.
If you are deleting a port trunk, disconnect the cables from the ports
before you delete the trunk. Deleting the trunk without first
disconnecting the data cables can create a loop in your network
topology, which can produce broadcast storms.
To create or delete a port trunk, perform the following procedure:
1. Click on the Advanced Config menu tab and select
Trunk Config. from
the sub-menu.
The Trunk Configuration page will appear, as displayed in Figure
63.

Trunk Configuration Page
If the switch does not contain a port trunk, all of the ports on the
switch will be un-checked. If there is a port trunk, the ports of the
trunk will be checked.
