| Description | Indicates the administrative status set on the
trunk port while the operational status is the one
that indicates whether the port is actually
trunking or not. If the status is set to off(2),
the port is permanently set to be a non-trunk. If
the status is set to onNoNegotiate(5), the port is
permanently set to be a trunk and no negotiation
takes place with the far end to try to ensure
consistent operation. If the status is set to
on(1), the port initiates a request to become a
trunk and will become a trunk regardless of the
response from the far end. If the status is set to
desirable(3), the port initiates a request to
become a trunk and will become a trunk if the far
end agrees. If the status is set to auto(4), the
port does not initiate a request to become a trunk
but will do so if it receives a request to become
a trunk from the far end. |
