Table 5 Trunk Port Configuration Fields
Description
Field
ID assigned to the trunk by the system when the trunk is created.
Trunk
User-created name for the trunk.
Name
Indicates whether the trunk is Static or Dynamic.
Type
•
Dynamic trunks use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP, IEEE standard
802.3ad). An LACP-enabled port automatically detects the presence of other
aggregation-capable network devices in the system and exchanges Link Aggregation
Control Protocol Data Units (LACPDUs) with links in the trunk. The PDUs contain
information about each link and enable the trunk to maintain them.
•
Static trunks are assigned to a bundle by the administrator. Members do not exchange
LACPDUs. A static trunk does not require a partner system to be able to aggregate
its member ports.
Displays whether the trunk has been enabled or disabled administratively. When
disabled, no traffic will flow. The messages that members of the trunk exchange in order
Admin Status
to manage the trunk (LACPDUs) will be dropped, but the links that form the Trunk will
not be released. The default is Enable.
Displays whether the link is up or down.
Link Status
Displays whether Static mode has been enabled on the trunk. When static mode is
enabled, the trunk does not transmit or process received LACPDUs. The member ports
Static Mode
do not transmit LACPDUs and all the LACPDUs it may receive are dropped. A static
trunk does not require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member ports.

MAC Table page
The MAC Table page displays the MAC addresses configured for ports, and the MAC type including
the maximum entries supported an d the current number of entries learned. The default aging
interval for forwarding database is 300secs. Dynamically learned entries are removed if they are
not updated within the aging interval on a particular interface.
