Switch Administration Guide

Trunk Port Settings

Create one logical link or trunk by aggregating multiple links and configuring port trunking. The trunk link functions as a high-speed link to provide increased bandwidth.

A trunk group is a set of up to eight ports configured as members of the same port trunk.

Link

Enable or disable the link status

Description Enter a description for this port.
Native VLAN The Native VLAN field appears when Trunk is selected for VLAN mode. Enter a number between 1 and 4094 in the Native VLAN field to assign the port's Native VLAN (Port VLAN ID). The Native VLAN option allows you to specify the Switch Port VLAN ID for traffic that does not carry a VLAN tag, which can help with SonicWave provisioning. A packet received on a given Switch port is assigned that port’s Native VLAN ID and is then forwarded to the port that corresponds to the packet’s destination address. If the Native VLAN of the port that received the packet is different from the Native VLAN of the port that is to transmit the packet, the Switch will drop the packet.
Mode

  • 1000 Mbps Full
