Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Configuring a trunk group

Because trunk groups 3 and 4 are pre-configured and cannot be deleted, you can configure trunk groups 1 and 2 only. Ports cannot be removed from trunk groups 3 and 4.

The module is highlighted.

2. From the Edit menu, select WSM Card > General.

The Web Switching Module dialog box opens to the General tab.

3. Click the Trunks tab.

The Trunks tab opens.

4. Click Insert.
5. The Insert Trunks dialog box opens.
6. In the number field, type a trunk group number (1-4).
7. In the State field, click Enable or Disable to enable or disable the trunk group.
8. In the Default BWM Contract field, type the number of a bandwidth management contract, or click Browse to browse a selection list.For more information, see Browsing a read only dialog box.
9. In the Ports field, click the physical ports for the trunk group.
10. Click Insert.
11. To insert more trunks, repeat Steps 6-10.
12. Click Close.

The trunk group is inserted into the Trunks tab with the selected ports, and the Insert Trunks dialog box closes.

13. In the Trunks tab, click Set > Apply > Close.

The trunk group is configured, and the Web Switching Module dialog box closes.

14. To save the change, right-click the WSM card and choose one of the following from the shortcut menu:
