Trunk Membership
You can create multiple links between devices that work as one virtual,
aggregate link. A port trunk offers a dramatic increase in bandwidth for
network segments where bottlenecks exist, as well as providing a
fault-tolerant link between two devices.
This page allows you to create a maximum of eight trunks of up to eight
ports each. The Membership Table has one row for each port and a
column for each trunk. Each row contains nine radio buttons which are
used to indicate which trunk (if any) to which the port belongs.
When a trunk is first created it is given the following default configuration:
• Speed/Duplex is set to Auto Speed (TRUNKS > Settings).
• Flow Control is turned off (TRUNKS > Settings).
• Rate Limiting is turned off (TRUNKS > Rate Limiting).
• The trunk is a member of VLAN 1 (VLANS > VLAN Membership)
with a PVID of 1. The trunk will accept both tagged and untagged
packets.
Ports that are removed from the trunk, retain the configuration that they
had when members of the trunk. Ports that are added to the trunk after its
creation, inherit the current configuration of the trunk.
Field Attributes
• Port – The front panel port number.
• Not a Trunk Member – If the radio button in this column is selected,
the port is not a member of any trunk. (This is the default state.)
• Trunk T1-T8 – These columns correspond to the eight trunks that are
supported by the switch. To assign a port to a trunk, click on the radio
button in the corresponding column, then click APPLY.
