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.
