Trunking setting
This Switch supports trunking function. Trunking function increases
backbone bandwidth and reduces network congestion; this is helpful
when the traffic is heavy between the cascaded Switches.
You can cascade two Switches via one trunking group (max. of 4
ports) with bandwidth up to 800Mbps; or cascade three (or more)
Switches via both trunking groups with 800Mbps bandwidth between
the Switches. Please see the table and diagrams below for more
information.
You can select to trunk two Switches using 2, 3, or 4 ports with Trunk
Group A or B. Please follow the instructions below to set the trunking
dipswitches:
Note: You can only trunk same model Switches together.
1. Power off the Switch.
2. Follow the table above to select the trunk ports and set the
dipswitches.
3. Repeat step 1 & 2 and configure another Switch.
