Switch> Trunking Page
Port Trunking is a feature that allows multiple links between switches to work as one virtual link (aggregate
link). Trunks can be defined for similar port types only. For example, a 10/100 port cannot form a Port
Trunk with a gigabit port. For 10/100 ports, trunks can only be formed within the same bank. A bank is a set
of eight ports, such as ports 1 to 8, ports 9 to 16, ports 17 to 24, or port 25 and port 26, on the same switch
unit. Up to four trunks can be operating at the same time.
The Trunk Table shows all four trunking groups are set disabled by default. For each trunk group, trunk
members are pre-set for selection.
