Configuring Port Trunking on a Buffalo TeraStation

Last Updated: 10/14/2024

  Note: For TeraStation 5010/3010/3020/6000 series, please refer to this KB article.

1. Open Settings and click on the "Network" tab.
   
2. Click on the configuration button next to "Port Trunking".
   
3. Click on "Bond 1". (If you are working on a 7000 series TeraStation, you will have the option for more than one bond.)
   
4. Select the trunking mode from the drop-down menu. This should be the same as the trunk mode set on the switch for the ports this unit will be using.
   
5. Select the ports to be used for this trunk. The example is a TS5000 series unit. If you are using a TS7000 series you will have more ports available and can create multiple trunks. Once you have the options set as desired, click Accept.
   
6. The trunk will assume the IP address of the lowest numbered port in the trunk. The process is finished, click Close.
