exclamation points, are allowed. Each trunk must be given a unique

6. Click the ports that are to make up the static port trunk. A selected port
changes to white. An unselected port is black. A port trunk can contain
up to eight ports.
Note
All ports in a trunk must operate at the same speed. When you
include port 23R or 24R on an AT-9424 switch in a trunk and the
port transitions to redundant uplink status, the port speed is
automatically adjusted to 1000 Mbps. If the other ports in the trunk
are operating at a different speed, port trunking may be
unpredictable. Because of these port speed variables, Allied
Telesyn suggests that you not include port 23R or 24R in a port
trunk.
7. Click Apply.
The new port trunk is now active on the switch.
8. From the Configuration menu, select the Save Config option to
permanently save your changes. (This option is not displayed if there
are no changes to save.)
9. Configure the ports on the remote switch for port trunking.
10. Connect the cables to the ports of the trunk on the switch.
The port trunk is ready for network operations.
