Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch3-58 309985-C Rev 00Symmetric ModeThis mode allows both the gigabit MDA port and its link partner to sendflow-control pause frames to each other. When a pause frame is received (byeither the gigabit MDA port or its link partner), the port suspends transmission offrames for a number of slot times specified in the control frame or until apause-release control frame is received. Both devices on the link must support thismode when it is selected.Asymmetric ModeThis mode allows the link partner to send flow control pause frames to the gigabitMDA port. When a pause frame is received, the receiving port suspendstransmission of frames for a number of slot times specified in the control frame oruntil a pause-release control frame is received.In this mode the gigabit MDA port is disabled from transmitting pause frames toits link partner. Use this mode when the gigabit MDA port is connected to abuffered repeater device.MultiLink Trunk ConfigurationThe MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen (Figure 3-24) allows you toselect the appropriate screen to configure up to six MultiLink trunks (you cangroup up to four switch ports to form each trunk).You can configure up to six MultiLink trunks in each stack, with trunk members ineither a single unit or distributed between units within the stack configuration(distributed trunking).You can monitor the bandwidth usage for the trunk member ports within eachtrunk. For more information about configuring MultiLink Trunks, see “MultiLinkTrunks” on page 1-63.Choose MultiLink Trunk Configuration (or press t) from the Switch ConfigurationMenu screen to open the MultiLink Trunk Configuration Menu screen.Note: When a trunk is not active (Trunk Status field set to Disabled),configuration changes do not take effect until you set the Trunk Status field toEnabled.
