Port configuration concepts

SNMP passwords are localized by using the engine ID of the authoritative
agent. For informs, the authoritative SNMP agent is the remote agent. You
therefore need to configure the remote agent SNMP engine ID before you
can send proxy requests or informs to it.
Port configuration concepts
This section describes port configuration concepts.
Trunk groups
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 (that is, a single switch or a stack).
You can create up to six trunks at a time.
The following figure illustrates a statically configured trunk.
Statically configured trunk
The switch supports both static trunking and dynamic Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP). Static trunks must be manually configured at both
ends of the link, and the switches must comply with the IEEE802.3ad link
aggregation standard. However, LACP-configured ports can automatically
negotiate a trunked link with LACP-configured ports on another device.
You can configure any number of ports on the switch as LACP, as long
as they are not already configured as part of a static trunk. If ports on
another device are also configured as LACP, the switch and the other device
negotiate a trunk link between them. If an LACP trunk consists of more than
four ports, all other ports are placed in standby mode. If one link in the trunk
fails, one of the standby ports is automatically activated to replace it.
