Table 3-16 describes the
MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen options.
MultiLink Trunk Configuration Screen
The MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen allows you to configure two to four
switch ports together as members of a trunk. Up to six trunks can be created for
each BayStack 350 switch.
Figure 3-17
shows an example of the MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen. In
this screen example (previously discussed on page 1-49), five trunks are shown:
One trunk is configured with four trunk members and the remaining four trunks
are each configured with two trunk members. When a configured trunk is enabled,
the trunk members (the specified switch ports) take on default settings necessary
for correct operation of the MultiLink Trunking feature. These default settings can
affect the correct operation of your configured network. See “MultiLink Trunks”
on page 1-49 for more information.
Choose Trunk Configuration (or press t) from the MultiLink Trunk Configuration
Menu screen to open the MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen.
