You can configure individual trunks between multiple switches as shown in
Figure 1-15
.
Although Figure 1-15
shows only two inter-switch trunks (I1 and I2) connecting
switch SW1 to switches SW2 and SW3, you can configure any BayStack 350
switch with up to four inter-switch trunks.
You can configure MultiLink trunks with up to four switch ports to provide up to
800 Mb/s aggregate bandwidth through each trunk, in full-duplex mode. As
shown in Figure 1-15
, when traffic between switch-to-switch connections
approaches single port bandwidth limitations, creating a MultiLink trunk can
supply the additional bandwidth required to improve the performance.
