| 发明名称 | Transmitting a packet from a distributed trunk switch | ||
| 摘要 | A method of transmitting an upstream communication packet from a distributed trunk (DT) switch is described. The method comprises receiving a packet from a device connected to a DT port of the DT switch; and transmitting the received packet via a non-DT port of the DT switch if the DT switch is the owner of the device and transmitting the received packet via a DT interconnect (DTI) port of the DT switch if the DT switch is not the owner of the device. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method of transmitting an upstream communication packet from a distributed trunk (DT) switch, comprising: receiving a packet from a device connected to a DT port of a first DT switch and a DT port of a second DT switch by a distributed trunk having a first link connected to the DT port of the first DT switch and a second link connected to the DT port of the second DT switch; and transmitting the received packet via a non-DT port of the first DT switch if the first DT switch manages communication forwarding decisions with respect to the device and transmitting the received packet from the first DT switch, via a DT interconnect (DTI) port of the first DT switch, to the second DT switch if the first DT switch does not manage communication forwarding decisions with respect to the device. | ||
