STP Learning
The STP Learning column contains a single field for each row that, when enabled, allows
the specified trunk to participate in the spanning tree. This setting overrides those of the
individual trunk members.
Fast is the same as Normal, except that the state transition timer is shortened to two
seconds.
Default Value: Normal
Range: Normal, Fast, Disabled
Trunk Mode
The Trunk Mode column contains a single read-only field for each row that indicates the
default operating mode for the switch.
Basic:
Basic mode is the default mode for the switch. When in this mode, source MAC
addresses are dynamically assigned to specific trunk members for flooding and
forwarding. This allows the switch to stabilize and distribute the data streams of source
addresses across the trunk members.
Default Value: Basic
Trunk Status
The Trunk Status column contains a single field for each row that allows users to enable
or disable any of the trunks.
Default Value: Enabled
Range: Enabled, Disabled
Trunk Name
The Trunk Name column contains a single optional field in each row that can be used to
assign names to the corresponding configured trunks. The names chosen for this
example can provide meaningful information to the user (for example, S1:T1 to FS2
indicates Trunk 1 in switch S1 connects to file server 2).
