Guidelines for Creating Aggregated Links ■ Any of the ports on the Switch can be used for creating an aggregated link. ■ This Switch can support a maximum of 4 trunks. ■ Each trunk may contain up to 8 members. ■ A port may only be a member of one aggregated link at any given time. ■ All ports in an aggregated link must be configured in an identical manner, including communication mode (that is, speed, duplex mode and flow control).

ONFIGURING
THE
S
WITCH
Trunking permits the connection of multiple ports to the
same remote device in order to achieve higher network
throughput.
For link aggregation to work, the trunks must be
configured on both ends (switches).
The Switch does not support the Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP), which is specified in IEEE
802.3ad.
Guidelines for Creating Aggregated Links
■
Any of the ports on the Switch can be used for
creating an aggregated link.
■
This Switch can support a maximum of 4 trunks.
■
Each trunk may contain up to 8 members.
■
A port may only be a member of one aggregated
link at any given time.
■
All ports in an aggregated link must be configured in
an identical manner, including communication mode
(that is, speed, duplex mode and flow control).
Defining the Members of an Aggregated Link
Use the
Membership/Setup
tab of the Link Aggregation
page to specify the members of a trunk.
To define the members of a trunk:
1
On the
Membership/Setup
tab, select the same trunk
number under Group Membership for the ports that
you want to trunk.
For example, if you want ports 2, 3, 4, and 5 to
become members of Trunk 2, set the Group Member-
ship for these ports to 2.

.
The Status column refers to the speed and duplex mode
of the trunk members. To change the speed and duplex
mode of the trunk, click the
Modify/Delete
tab.
