This example shows you how to create a static port trunk group for ports 2-5. 

Make your physical connections - make sure that the ports that you want to belong to the trunk 
group are connected to the same destination. The following figure shows ports 2-5 on switch A 
connected to switch B.

Trunking Example - Physical Connections

LACP Active

Select this option to enable LACP for a trunk.

Port

This field displays the port number. 

*

Settings in this row apply to all ports.

Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this row 
first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port basis. 

Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.

LACP Timeout

Timeout is the time interval between the individual port exchanges of LACP packets in 
order to check that the peer port in the trunk group is still up. If a port does not respond 
after three tries, then it is deemed to be “down” and is removed from the trunk. Set a 
short timeout (one second) for busy trunked links to ensure that disabled ports are 
removed from the trunk group as soon as possible. 

Select either 1 second or 30 seconds.

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.
