Adding an MLT-based SMLT

If you are configuring SMLT with Device Manager, you do not need to create an MLT before creating an SMLT. You can create an SMLT by selecting the MLT type as SMLT and then specifying an SMLT ID.

To add an MLT-based SMLT:

  1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose VLAN > MLT.
    2. The MLT dialog box opens to the MultiLink Trunks tab.
  2. On the MultiLink Trunks tab, click Insert.
    3. The MLT, Insert MultiLink Trunks dialog box opens.
  3. In the ID field, the next available MLT ID is displayed. You can use this ID or type an available MLT ID number (1-32).
  4. In the PortType field, click Access or Trunk.
  5. In the Name field, type a name to identify the MLT-based SMLT port.
  6. In the PortMembers field, click the ellipsis (...).
    7. The MltPortMembers dialog box opens, displaying the available ports.
  7. Click the ports to include in the MLT-based SMLT.
  8. Click OK.
    9. The MltPortMembers dialog box closes and the ports are added to the PortMembers field on the Insert MultiLink Trunks tab.
  9. In the VlanIds field, click the ellipsis (...).
    10. The VlanIds dialog box opens, displaying the available VLANs.
  10. Select the VLAN IDs for the MLT-based SMLT port, and click OK.
    11. The VlanIds dialog box closes and the VLANs are added to the VlanIds field in the MLT, Insert Trunks dialog box.
  11. In the MltType field, click splitMLT.
    12. The SmltId field becomes editable.
  12. In the SmltId field, type an unused SMLT ID (1 - 32).

    Note Note: The corresponding SMLTs between aggregation switches must have matching SMLT IDs. The same ID number must be used on both sides.

    13. To view the SMLT IDs currently in use on the switch, see "Viewing SMLTs configured on your switch".
  13. Click Insert.
    14. The Insert MultiLink Trunks dialog box closes, and the new MLT-based SMLT appears in the MultiLink Trunks tab.
  14. From the MultiLink Trunks tab, click Apply.
    15. The MLT-based SMLT is added.
