Guidelines for Creating Trunks
General Guidelines –
Finish configuring port trunks before you connect the corresponding
network cables between switches to avoid creating a loop.
A trunk can have up to four ports.
The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as trunk
ports.
All ports in a trunk must be configured in an identical manner,
including VLAN assignments and CoS settings.
Any of the 10 Gigabit ports on the front panel can be trunked together,
including ports of different media types.
