Configuring Your ELS10-26

You could also type
bridge [PORT-RANGE]
to look at a specific
range of ports. For example
bridge 2-4
would display bridging
functions for ports 2, 3, and 4.
3.5 ENABLING TRUNKING
If your network configuration requires you to connect two or more
ELS10-26s (or other devices capable of trunking) together, but the
applications you are running over the network require more than
10 Mbps of bandwidth per connection, you can use the built-in
trunking feature to increase bandwidth up to 160 Mbps, or
400 Mbps using 100Base ports, without installing additional
hardware on your network.
Trunking is a Cabletron Systems proprietary extension to the
802.1D Spanning Tree algorithm. It enables you to use multiple
10BASE-T Ethernet segments to connect ELS10-26s together, while
maintaining first-in, first-out ordering of Ethernet packets. In
addition, if any of the Ethernet segments configured for trunking
become inoperable, those Ethernet segments are automatically
bypassed.
Figure 3-1 shows two ELS10-26s connected by four 10BASE-T
crossover cables. You can connect up to eight ports for sharing the
traffic load. Any additional connected ports will become standby
ports. The connections must be point-to-point. That is, there
cannot be any other devices on the Ethernet segments.
