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. |
You can create an SMLT from the MultiLink Trunks tab by selecting the MLT type as SMLT and then specifying an SMLT ID.
