To configure a port trunking group:
1. Highlight Configure Port Trunking on the Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
The Port Trunking Settings screen allows you to set the following:
Group ID—Enter a group ID number for the port trunking group.
Group Name—Enter a name for the port trunking group.
Member ports—Toggle between M to indicate membership of the port trunking
group, or a dash () to indicate nonmembership.
State—Toggle between Enabled and Disabled. This setting is used to turn a port
trunking group on or off. It is useful for diagnostics, to quickly isolate a bandwidth
intensive network device, or to have an absolute backup aggregation group that is not
under automatic control.
3. After making your changes, highlight APPLY, then press the Enter key.
NOTE: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM using
the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier in this
chapter.
