3.5.1 Introduction to Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation (also called Trunking), or IEEE 802.3ad, is a
computer networking term which describes using multiple Ethernet
network cables/ports in parallel to increase the bandwidth of
point-to-point connections without changing existing cabling or
switch equipment. In addition, trunking provides point-to-point
redundancy between two devices to prevent looping. The
TEG3224T supports up to 12 trunk groups with 2~16 ports in each
group.
