1. Cisco-designed adapters are capable of port channeling. A port channel bundles up to four individual interfaces 
into a group to provide increased bandwidth and redundancy. Port channeling also load balances traffic across 
these physical interfaces. The port channel stays operational as long as at least one physical interface within 
the port channel is operational. Cisco-certified adapters suppled by third-party vendors do not support port 
channeling. Port channeling is indicated with an oval drawn around several individual ports.
