Figure 6-15. Port Trunk screen
The fields you can set are:
♦
Anchor
There are either two or three listings representing the anchor port for each of the three trunk
groups available on the Switch (the third listing will only be displayed if an optional two-port plug-in
module is being used). The anchor port must fall within the port range and be included as a member port.
♦
Name
Enter the desired group name. In the example pictured above the first trunk group designates a
trunk connection between a Switch on the 6
th
floor and this one on the 7
th
floor
♦
Members
Select between 2 to 8 ports in the first two entries for this field. The number of ports defined
here start from the anchor port. Thus, in the example pictured above containing 4 ports in the first trunk,
the ports in the trunk group will include ports (anchor), 5, 6, 8, and 11. The third entry (used for 2-port
front-panel modules) has a permanent setting of 2 ports.
