port priority function is not available for the 17th 100base-fx fiber port.
ports can be combined into an aggregate link to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or ensure fault recovery. the smart switch supports up to 4 trunk groups. you can group ports into trunks that consist of from two to eight ports, creating anaggregate bandwidth of up to 1.6gbps when grouping eight ports.
it provides two manners to select the port members for trunk group as shown figure 9.
when using a port trunk, please note that:
1 ports can only be assigned to one trunk.
(for example, port 1 can't join to trunk 1 and trunk 2 simultaneously.)
2 the ports at the same trunk must be configured in identical speed, duplex mode, and vlan assignments.
3 please make sure that the switch is idle (no traffic), and then connect/disconnect the trunk port cables before enable/disable the port trunking configuration to avoid creating a loop.
4 port priority (qos) configuration should be disabled when you enable port trunking function.
5 the ports can't be set as mirroring port and joined to trunk groups simultaneously. it will cause a loop.
option 1:select trunking members by each port
option 2:rapid trunk group configuration
you can select the trunk group simply by pressing function-keys as follows, and then system will select the trunk members automatically.
the trunk group is consisted of fixed 4 ports per trunk.
1 press [ 1]: port 1～ 4 joined to group 1
2 press [2]: port 5 ～ 8 joined to group 2
3 press [3]: port 9 ～12 joined to group 3
4 press [4]: port 13 ～16 joined to group 4
press [ctrl+d] to refresh as default port priority configuration.
you must reboot switch after adding or removing trunk port, and in consequence port trunking function will operate properly.
