Trunk port
Configure the trunk port to connect to core switch.
We will use port 1 (the internal1 interface in the GUI), which was removed from the internal hardware switch earlier in the document. If internal1 has not been removed, see Removing interfaces from the hardware switch.
To configure the trunk port:
- Go to Network > Interfaces.
- Double-click the port that you will use to connect to the core switch to open it for editing.
In this example, we will use port 1, which is labeled internal1 in the GUI.
