All trunk members must have the same VLAN configuration before the Trunk
Configuration screens Trunk Status field can be set to Enabled (see VLAN
Configuration on page 3-40).
When an active port is configured in a trunk, the port becomes a trunk member
as soon as the Trunk Status field is set to Enabled. After the Trunk Status field
is set to Enabled, the spanning tree parameters for the port will change to
reflect the new trunk settings.
If spanning tree participation of any trunk member is changed (enabled or
disabled), the spanning tree participation of all members of that trunk is
changed similarly (see Spanning Tree Considerations for MultiLink Trunks
on page 1-76
).
When a trunk is enabled, the trunk spanning tree participation setting takes
precedence over that of any trunk member. When a trunk is active, the trunk
STP setting can be changed from either the Trunk Configuration screen or the
Spanning Tree Configuration screen.
If the VLAN settings of any trunk member are changed, the VLAN settings of
all members of that trunk are changed similarly.
When any trunk member is set to Disabled (not active) through the Port
Configuration screen or through network management, the trunk member is
removed from the trunk. The removed trunk member has to be reconfigured
through the Trunk Configuration screen to rejoin the trunk. A screen prompt
precedes this action. A trunk member cannot be disabled if there are only two
trunk members on the trunk.
A trunk member cannot be configured as a monitor port (see Port Mirroring
Configuration on page 3-64).
Trunks cannot be monitored by a monitor port; however, trunk members can
be monitored (see Port-Based Mirroring Configuration
on page 1-81).
All trunk members must have identical IGMP configurations.
If the IGMP snooping configuration for any trunk member is changed, the
IGMP snooping settings for all trunk members are changed.
