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.
