Chapter 7: Static Port Trunks

108 Section I: Basic Operations

Modifying a Static Port Trunk

This section contains the procedure for modifying a static port trunk on the

switch. You can change the name and ports of a trunk from the web

browser interface, but not the load distribute method. Be sure to review the

guidelines in Chapter 8, “Static and LACP Port Trunks,” in the

AT-S63 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide before

performing the procedure:

Caution

Disconnect all data cables from the ports of the trunk on the switch

before performing this procedure if you plan to add or remove ports

from the trunk. Leaving the cables connected can form a loop in your

network topology. This can cause a broadcast storm and poor

network performance.

Note the following before performing this procedure:

 If you are adding a port and the port will be the lowest numbered port

in the trunk, its parameter settings will overwrite the settings of the

existing ports in the trunk. Consequently, you should check to see if its

settings are appropriate prior to adding it.

 If you are adding a port and the port will not be the lowest numbered

port in the trunk, its settings are automatically changed to match the

settings of the existing ports in the trunk.

 If you are adding a port to a trunk, check to be sure that the new port is

an untagged member of the same VLAN as the other trunk ports. A

trunk cannot contain ports that are untagged members of different

VLANs.

 You cannot change the load distribution method of a static port trunk

from the web browser manager interface, but you can from the menus

and command line interfaces.

To modify a port trunk, perform the following procedure:

1. From the home page, select Configuration.

2. From the Configuration menu, select the Layer 1 option.

3. Select the Port Trunking tab.

The Port Trunking tab is shown in Figure 26 on page 105.

4. Click the button next to the port trunk to be modified and click Modify.
