aggregation.
Active Select this option to activate a trunk group.
Criteria Select the outgoing traffic distribution type. Packets from the same source and/ or to the
same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk. By default, the Switch uses
the src-dst-m ac distribution type. If the Switch is behind a router, the packet’s destination
or source MAC address will be changed. In this case, set the Switch to distribute traffic
based on its IP address to make sure port trunking can work properly.
Select src-m ac to distribute traffic based on the packet’s source MAC address.
Select dst-m ac to distribute traffic based on the packet’s destination MAC address.
Select src-dst-m ac to distribute traffic based on a combination of the packet’s source and
destination MAC addresses.
Select src-ip to distribute traffic based on the packet’s source IP address.
Select dst-ip to distribute traffic based on the packet’s destination IP address.
Select src-dst-ip to distribute traffic based on a combination of the packet’s source and
destination IP addresses.
Slot (Stacking
mode)
This field appears only in stacking mode. Click the drop-down list to choose the slot number
of the Switch in a stack.
Port
(Standalone or
stacking mode)
This field displays the port number. In stacking mode, the first box field is the slot ID and
the second field is the port number.
Group Select the trunk group to which a port belongs.
Note: When you enable the port security feature on the Switch and configure port security
settings for a port, you cannot include the port in an active trunk group.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
