Port Trunking

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

Ports per trunk (maximum) 4 8

Trunks per switch (maximum) 3
