Port Configuration

3-85

3

CLI – This example creates trunk 2 with ports 9 and 10. Just connect these ports to 
two static trunk ports on another switch to form a trunk.

Command Usage
• To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure 

you enable LACP before connecting the ports, 
and also disconnect the ports before disabling 
LACP. 

• If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the 

connected ports, the trunk will be activated 
automatically. 

• A trunk formed with another switch using LACP 

will automatically be assigned the next available 
trunk ID. 

• If more than four ports attached to the same target 

switch have LACP enabled, the additional ports will be placed in standby mode, 
and will only be enabled if one of the active links fails.

• All ports on both ends of an LACP trunk must be configured for full duplex, either 

by forced mode or auto-negotiation.
