This chapter explains the settings available with the
PhobosLink software application.
With PhobosLink, ports can be grouped into three
basic group types: symmetric trunking, asymmetric
trunking, and fail-over only.
• Symmetric Trunking - Should be used when the
ports in the group are connected to a switch that
supports trunking. In this case, be sure that the cor-
responding ports on the switch are also configured
as a trunk; otherwise the connection will not work
properly. In this mode, packets will be sent and
received symmetrically on all the ports in the group.
• Asymmetric Trunking - Should be used when the
P430 ports in the group are connected to a legacy
switch that does not support trunking. In this mode,
packets will be transmitted on all the ports in the
group, but only one of the ports will be used to
receive incoming traffic.
• Failover-only Mode - Disables trunking entirely,
so that only one port in the group will be used at
once. All three modes support automatic fail-over
functionality, switching network traffic to a different
