Configuring an SLT


Attention

For SMLT to function properly, you must manually disable STP on all SMLT, IST, and SLT ports in all spanning tree groups or instances to which the ports belong. You must also disable STP on all edge switch MLT ports that are connected to the SMLT or SLT.

Ports that are already configured as MLT or MLT-based SMLT cannot be configured as a single port SLT. You must first remove the split trunk and then reconfigure the ports as an SLT.

Prerequisites

Use the following procedure to configure an SLT:

Procedure steps


Step Action

1

From the Device Physical View, double-click a port.

2

Select the SMLT tab.

Note:

If the MltId field is not zero, this indicates that the port is already configured as an MLT or MLT-based SMLT. If so, you cannot configure an SLT on the port.

3

Click Insert.

The Insert SMLT dialog box appears.

4

In the SmltId field, enter an unused SMLT ID number from 1 to 512.

To view the SMLT IDs that are already in use on your switch, see Viewing SLTs configured on your switch.

5

Click Insert.

The Insert SMLT dialog box closes, and the ID is entered into the SMLT tab.
