5.  When you are prompted to confirm the changes, click OK to 

save changes or CANCEL to restore the current VLAN 
assignment.

To view ports assigned to a specific VLAN, from the VLAN pull-down 
menu located above the System Information and Virtual LANS area 
(Figure 2-3), select the VLAN for which you want to view port 
assignments. All enabled ports connected to the selected VLAN 
display as yellow (connected to a selected VLAN but not plugged in) 
or green (connected and enabled with a link) in the switch 
representation.

Link Aggregation (Hunt Groups) allow you to aggregate multiple 
switch ports into a single group, effectively combining the 
bandwidth into a single connection. 

* Note:  In this document, link aggregation is referred to as hunt 

groups.

For example, if you connect three gigabit ports each on a pair of 
switches into a hunt group, the aggregated connection will have six 
gigabits of available bandwidth (full- duplex). 

Hunt groups also provide fault tolerance. If a port in a hunt group 
fails, the remaining ports continue to forward the traffic on the link.

Before creating a hunt group, consider the following points:

■

The switches do not have a link discovery protocol. When 
creating a hunt group, you have to verify that the ports in a 
group on one switch are physically connected to the ports in 
that group on the other switch.

■

If one end of a connection is in a hunt group, the other end 
of the connection should also be a hunt group. Otherwise, 
the forwarding behavior of the hunt group is unpredictable.

■

You should disable the ports in a hunt group until both ends 
of the link are configured.
