Chapter 37: Static Port Trunk Commands
530
STATIC-CHANNEL-GROUP
Syntax
static-channel-group
id_number
Parameters
id_number
Specifies an ID number of a static port trunk. The range is 1 to 32.
You can specify just one ID number.
Mode
Port Interface mode
Description
Use this command to create new static port trunks and to add ports to
existing trunks. To create a new trunk, specify an unused ID number. To
add ports to an existing trunk, specify an ID number of an existing trunk.
Caution
Do not connect the network cables to the ports of the static port
trunk until after you have created it. A network loop may result if you
connect the cables beforehand, possibly resulting in a broadcast
storm and poor network performance.
To create a new static port trunk, you have to assign it an ID number, in
the range of 1 to 32. This number is used by the switch to identify trunks
and to assign trunk names. A name of a trunk consists of the prefix “sa”
followed by an ID number. For instance, if you assign a new trunk the ID
number 5, its name will be “sa5.”
You should review the following information before creating a new static
port trunk:
When you create a new trunk, the settings of the lowest numbered
port are copied to the other ports so that all the ports have the
same settings. Consequently, you should examine and verify that
the speed, duplex mode, and flow control settings of the lowest
numbered port are correct for the network device to which the
trunk will be connected.
The ports of a trunk must be members of the same VLAN.
