| Configuring the Switch

Creating Trunk Groups

– 113 –

■

Destination MAC Address – All traffic with the same destination

MAC address is output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works

best for switch-to-switch trunk links where traffic through the

switch is destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode

for switch-to-router trunk links where the destination MAC address

is the same for all traffic.

■

IP Address – All traffic with the same source and destination IP

address is output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works best

for switch-to-router trunk links where traffic through the switch is

destined for many different hosts. Do not use this mode for switch-

to-server trunk links where the destination IP address is the same

for all traffic. (One of the defaults.)

■

TCP/UDP Port Number – All traffic with the same source and

destination TCP/UDP port number is output on the same link in a

trunk. Avoid using his mode as a lone option. It may overload a

single port member of the trunk for application traffic of a specific

type, such as web browsing. However, it can be used effectively in

combination with the IP Address option. (One of the defaults.)
