Trunking
Port Trunking is a feature that allows multiple links between switches to work as one virtual link
or aggregate link. Trunks can be defined for similar port types only. For example, a 10/100 port
cannot form a Port Trunk with a gigabit port. For 10/100 ports, trunks can only be formed within
the same bank. A bank is ports 1 to 8, ports 9 to 16, ports 17 to 24, or port 25 and port 26 (using an
FSM726 as an example), on the same switch unit. Up to four trunks can be enabled at the same
time. Spanning Tree will treat trunked ports as a single virtual port.
Syntax
FSM726(config-if)# trunking [add <trunk #> | remove <trunk #>]
Where
add <trunk #> = adding this particular port to a trunk. The trunk number ranges from 1-4.
remove <trunk #> = removing this particular port from a trunk. The trunk number ranges from
1-4.
For example, to add this particular port to trunk 4 by entering
FSM726(config-if)# trunking add 4
By the same token, to remove this port from trunk 4, you would enter
FSM726(config-if)# trunking remove 4
mac-address-table
The mac-address-table command lets you configure the operation and maintenance of the
MAC address table. The aging timers and static entries are configured through this command.
Aging-Timer
Syntax
FSM726(config)# mac-address-table aging-timer <aging time>
Where
<aging time> = the maximum time where a MAC address will stay in the MAC address table.
This number ranges from 10-1,000,000 seconds.
