7.10 Link Aggregation Commands
Ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link (that is, trunk) to increase
the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery. Or the Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) can be used to automatically negotiate a
trunk link between the ECN330-switch and another network device. For static
trunks, the switches have to comply with the Cisco EtherChannel standard. For
dynamic trunks, the switches have to comply with LACP. The ECN330-switch
supports up to 13 trunks. For example, a trunk consisting of two 1000 Mbps
ports can support an aggregate bandwidth of 4 Gbps when operating at full
duplex.
