Trunk Group Settings
To create a link between the Intellinet 8‐Port Gigabit Web‐Smart Switch, you normally simply connect an
RJ45 Ethernet cable to a port on a different switch. If that is also a Gigabit switch, this connection between
the two switches would provide a bandwidth of 1 Gbps. In order to increase the bandwidth, you can set
up a so called trunking group, which takes two physical ports and combines them to one logic port,
doubling the bandwidth to 2 Gbps.
1.
Select any two ports of ports one to four.
2.
Click Add/Modify to create the trunk group
Note:
When using trunk groups, the following restrictions apply:
You may only create one trunking group.
Only two ports can form a trunking group, and only ports 1 – 4 can be a member of a trunking
group.
All member ports of a trunk group must have identical port & QoS settings.
All member ports of a trunk group must have the same port‐based priority.
All member ports of a trunk group must have the same 802.1Q VLAN port setting.
All member ports of a trunk group must have the same storm filter rate.
All member ports of a trunk group must have the same frame type.
The Gigabit switch on the opposite end must also be configured with a trunking group consisting
of two ports.
