DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide
The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
Group ID:[1]
This field can be toggled between any one of the six possible
link aggregation groups configurable on the switch.
Port:[1]
The Master port of link aggregation group.
Group Width:[ ]
Allows the entry of the number of contiguous ports that will
make up the link aggregation group. These ports will be in
sequential order from the Master Port.
Method:
<Disabled>
This field can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled.
This is used to turn a link aggregation group on or off. This
is useful for diagnostics, to quickly isolate a bandwidth
intensive network device or to have an absolute backup link
aggregation group that is not under automatic control.
Spanning Tree
The Spanning Tree Protocol can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup
links between switches, bridges, or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging
devices (that is, STP compliant switches, bridges, or routers) in your network to ensure that only one
route exists between any two stations on the network.
The following figures and tables describe the configuration of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on the
switch.
Configure Spanning Tree
To configure the spanning tree protocol on the switch, highlight Spanning Tree from the Main Menu
and press Enter.
