RUGGEDCOM ROS allows up to 15 port trunks to be configured on a single device, with each consisting of up to 8
ports.
NOTE
The maximum number of port trunks for each device depends on the number of ports available. At
least two ports are required to configure a port trunk.
NOTE
The aggregated port with the lowest port number is called the Port Trunk Primary Port. Other ports in
the trunk are called Secondary Ports.
