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-mac 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-mac to distribute traffic based on the packet’s source MAC address. 

Select dst-mac to distribute traffic based on the packet’s destination MAC address. 

Select src-dst-mac 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.

Port

This field displays 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.
