Port Trunking
Overview
Overview
This chapter describes creating and modifying port trunk groups. This
includes non-protocol trunks and LACP (802.3ad) trunks.
Port Status and Configuration
Port trunking allows you to assign physical links to one logical link (trunk)
that functions as a single, higher-speed link providing dramatically increased
bandwidth. This capability applies to connections between backbone devices
as well as to connections in other network areas where traffic bottlenecks
exist.
A trunk group is a set of ports configured as members of the same port trunk.
Note that the ports in a trunk group do not have to be consecutive. For
