Performing Port Aggregation
The aggregation or trunking of ports enables an aggregate of bandwidth between like
switches. Attaching the console port to a PC or any VT100 compatible unit launches a main
menu screen displayed by hitting any key. The Escape key quits the program functions. The
[T] command displays further parameters that define which ports or number of ports that
can be in one trunk, or the number of possible trunks. The VLAN function might become
disabled on trunked ports.
Configuring Ports
The same menu allows configuration of individual ports to turn off the auto-negotiation,
flow-control, or full-duplex transmission features. Attaching the console port to a PC or any
VT100 compatible unit launches a main menu screen that is displayed by hitting any key.
The Escape key quits the program functions. The [M] command displays the options for
each port configuration. To change the mode, enter the port number, and then the number
representing a selection from the options list displayed on the screen. The list differs
between the TX and FX ports. Follow these steps to change the speed/duplex mode setting
or to toggle flow control ON/OFF:
?? Key [M] (NO [ENTER])
