–
When adding an interface to an Eth-Trunk, ensure that the interface uses the default link
type.
–
An Eth-Trunk cannot be added to another Eth-Trunk.
–
An Ethernet interface can be added to only one Eth-Trunk. To add the Ethernet interface
to another Eth-Trunk, delete it from the Eth-Trunk first.
–
Member interfaces of an Eth-Trunk must use the same type.
–
If an interface of the local device is added to an Eth-Trunk, an interface of the remote
device directly connected to the interface of the local device must also be added to an
Eth-Trunk so that the two ends can communicate.
–
After interfaces are added to an Eth-Trunk, the Eth-Trunk learns MAC addresses and
ARP entries but member interfaces do not.
–
Devices at both ends of an Eth-Trunk must use the same number of physical interfaces,
interface rate, duplex mode, jumbo and flow control mode.

Follow-up Procedure
You can configure Eth-Trunk member interfaces to send trap messages after the Eth-Trunk
member interface status changes. After the device receives a trap message, check whether the
device fails or recovers.
If you need to know the status change of the member interface of a specified Eth-Trunk, run the
trunk-member trap
in private-mib enable
command to enable Eth-Trunk member interfaces
to use the proprietary MIB to send trap messages. The trap messages sent by using the proprietary
MIB carry Eth-Trunk IDs, whereas the trap messages sent by using the public MIB do not carry
Eth-Trunk IDs.
NOTE
After the
trunk-member trap
in private-mib enable
command is configured, Eth-Trunk member
interfaces only use the proprietary MIB to send trap messages. To view these trap messages, use the Huawei
proprietary MIB.
2.6.1.4 (Optional) Setting the Lower Threshold for the Number of Active Interfaces
Context
The lower threshold for the number of active interfaces affects the status and bandwidth of an
Eth-Trunk. To ensure that the Eth-Trunk functions properly and is less affected by member link
status changes, set the lower threshold for the number of active interfaces.
When the number of active interfaces falls below the lower threshold, the Eth-Trunk goes Down.
This ensures that the Eth-Trunk has a minimum available bandwidth.
NOTE
The upper threshold for the number of active interfaces is inapplicable to the manual load balancing mode.
