Hi, thanks for your post.<br />
It doesn't like the term port - &nbsp; Ambiguous input: port <br />
<br />
In the live environment I will have:<br />
Switch A with 2 sfp ports &nbsp;(Trk1) connected to switch B<br />
Switch A with the other 2 sfp ports &nbsp;(Trk2) connecting to Switch C<br />
<br />
I just wondered if this will suffice using the Trunk group operation using Trunk, or if I need to change to Trunk group operation using LACP, and what the benefit would be.<br />
<br />
regards<br />

Hi<br />
I need to set up a trunk on two HP Procurve switches, not sure yet on model but I have been testing on a couple of 2920-24G J9727A<br />
<br />
I have set up Trunk Trk1 across ports 1 and 2, and then tagged Trk1 for both my vlans, i have then repeated this on the second switch. As i havent set up trunks before, i did this via the GUI (switch firmware 16.09.0003)<br />
<br />
Everything seems to be working ok, spanning tree is enabled and both ports are still active.<br />
<br />
Am i done?, looking on the manual, there are two methods, Trunk group operation using LACP and Trunk group operation using the &quot;trunk&quot; option.<br />
<br />
Current switches already have VLAN1 being used for data, vlan50 for voice and vlan3 for management.<br />
<br />
If i need to change it to LACP, can the use of vlans stay the same or does vlan1 need to go?<br />
<br />
show trunk &nbsp;displays ports 1 and 2 in Trunk Trk1<br />
show trunk trk1 &nbsp; returns &nbsp;module not present for port or invalid port : trk1 &nbsp; <br />
Not sure if that means something is wrong?<br />
<br />

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
