7. When you are finished assigning ports to the trunk group, press [Enter] , then [S] (for Save) and return to the
Main Menu. (It is not necessary to reboot the switch.)
During the Save process, traffic on the ports configured for trunking is delayed for several seconds. If the
Spanning Tree Protocol is enabled, the delay may be up to 30 seconds.
8. Connect the trunked ports on the switch to the corresponding ports on the opposite device. If you previously
disabled any of the trunked ports on the switch, enable them now. (See "Viewing Port Status and Configuring
Port Parameters")
Check the Event Log ("Using the Event Log for Troubleshooting Switch Problems") to verify that the trunked ports
are operating properly.
Viewing and configuring port trunk groups (CLI)
You can list the trunk type and group for all ports on the switch or for selected ports. You can also list LACP-only
status information for LACP-configured ports.
Viewing static trunk type and group for all ports or for selected ports
Syntax:
show trunks [< port-list >]
Omitting the <port-list> parameter results in a static trunk data listing for all LAN ports in the switch.
Example:
In a switch where ports A4 and A5 belong to Trunk 1 and ports A7 and A8 belong to Trunk 2, you have the
options shown in Listing specific ports belonging to static trunks on page 112 and A show trunk listing
without specifying ports on page 112 for displaying port data for ports belonging to static trunks.
Using a port list specifies, for switch ports in a static trunk group, only the ports you want to view. In this case, the
command specifies ports A5 through A7. However, because port A6 is not in a static trunk group, it does not
appear in the resulting listing:
Listing specific ports belonging to static trunks
switch# show trunks e 5-7

Port | Name Type | Group Type
---- + ----------------------- --------- + ----- -----
5 | Print-Server-Trunk 10/100TX | Trk1 Trunk
7 | 10/100TX | Trk2 Trunk
The show trunks <port-list> command in the above Example: includes a port list, and thus shows trunk
group information only for specific ports that have membership in a static trunk. In
A show trunk listing without
specifying ports on page 112, the command does not include a port list, so the switch lists all ports having static
trunk membership.
A show trunk listing without specifying ports
