Foundry Configuration Guide for the FESX, FSX, and FWSX
10 - 4 © Foundry Networks, Inc. December 2005
• Make sure the device on the other end of the trunk link can support the same number of ports in the link. For
example, if you configure a three-port trunk group on the FESX and the other end is a different type of switch,
make sure the other switch can support a three-port trunk group.
• All the ports must be connected to the same device at the other end.
• All trunk group member properties must match the lead port of the trunk group with respect to the following
parameters:
• port tag type (untagged or tagged port)
• statically configured port speed and duplex
• QoS priority
To change port parameters, you must change them on the primary port. The software automatically applies
the changes to the other ports in the trunk group.
Trunk Group Configuration Examples
Figure 10.3 shows some examples of valid 2-port and 3-port trunk group links between devices. The trunk groups
in this example are switch trunk groups, between two Foundry devices. Ports in a valid 2-port trunk group on one
device are connected to two ports in a valid 2-port trunk group on another device. The same rules apply to 3-port,
4-port, etc., trunk groups.
