MLT on Baystack 450-24T 1

[JasReehal]

Hi Folks,

I have a cascade of 6 Baystack 450-24T switches 3 of the sitches have a fibre Gbic modules and I have configured a 3xiGb MLT with members ports 1/25, 2/25 and 3/25.

I want to remove 1/25 from the MLT, but when I try, I get the message ..

This is an active trunk. Please zero out port # before changing the unit #.

Can anyone explain this message and advise me on how to progress?

What are you using to change the config?

What is your switch stack config (relevant bits only).

Hi Mr Whirlwind,

I am using the command-line interface, after using telnet to access the address of the cascade.

[ul]
[li]telnet <cascadeIP>[/li]
[li]Ctrl-Y[/li]
[li]Switch Configuration[/li]
[li]MultiLink Trunk Configuration (twice)[/li]
[li]Highlight the switch part of one of the 3 Trunk members [/li]
[li]Press the space bar untill the trunk changed from 1/25 to /25[/li]
This gave the error message above!!

However in doing this I realised that if I first highlighted the port
part of the trunk and pressed the space bar untill 1/25 became 1/ .
Then I could then go on to 'zero' the switch part subsequently.
[/ul]

That's the Menu thing isn't it? I wouldn't use that. Better to use the command line or the JDM.

I found for multi-link trunk config (and VLANs), the JDM was the easiest and quickest way to configure it.

Hi,

If I remember well, you have to disable your MLT before adding / removing a port from it.
Once the change is done you can enable the MLT again.

Cheers,
