MultiLink Trunk Utilization Screen
The MultiLink Trunk Utilization screen (Figures 3-27 and 3-28) allows you to
monitor the percentage of bandwidth used by configured trunk members. You can
choose the type of traffic to monitor.
Figure 3-27 shows an example of bandwidth utilization rates for the trunk member
ports configured in Figure 3-26. Because two screens are necessary to show all of
the configured trunks (up to six), the screen prompts you to Press [Ctrl]-N to view
trunks five and six.
Choose MultiLink Trunk Utilization (or press u) from the MultiLink Trunk
Configuration Menu to open the MultiLink Trunk Utilization screen.
STP Learning Contains a single field for each row that, when enabled, allows the specified trunk to
participate in the spanning tree. This setting overrides those of the individual trunk
members.
Fast is the same as Normal, except that the state transition timer is shortened to two
seconds.
Default Normal
Range Normal, Fast, Disabled
Trunk Mode Contains a single read-only field for each row that indicates the default operating mode
for the switch.
Basic: Basic mode is the default mode for the switch. When in this mode, source MAC
addresses are dynamically assigned to specific trunk members for flooding and
forwarding. This allows the switch to stabilize and distribute the data streams of source
addresses across the trunk members.
Trunk Status Contains a single field for each row that allows users to enable or disable any of the
trunks.
Default Disabled
Range Enabled, Disabled
Trunk Name Contains a single optional field in each row that can be used to assign names to the
corresponding configured trunks. The names chosen for this example can provide
meaningful information to the user (for example, S1:T1 to FS2 indicates trunk 1 in switch
S1 connects to file server 2).
