You may want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to underutilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link. However, the more ports you aggregate then the fewer available ports you have. A trunk group is one logical link containing multiple ports. 9. 1. 1 Distribution Criterion The switch uses a traffic distribution algorithm to balance traffic between trunk members. The switch allows you to specify what criteria it should use to calculate the most efficient distribution of traffic. The choices are Source MAC Address (SA), Destination MAC Address (DA) or both (SA + DA). The best choice of distribution criteria depends on your specific network environment. 9. 2 Trunk Setting Screen Use this screen to aggregate groups of physical ports into one higher capacity link. Click Trunk Groups in the navigation panel to display the Trunk Setting screen.

Click Mirror in the navigation panel to display the Mirror Setting screen. Use this screen to select a monitor port and specify the traffic flow to be copied to the monitor port. Figure 35 Mirror Setting The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 16 Mirror Setting LABEL Mode Ingress Mirror Egress Mirror Mirror To DESCRIPTION Select Enabled to turn on port mirroring or select Disabled to turn it off. Select the ports for which you want to monitor the ingress (incoming) traffic.
