What are Port Trunks?
Port trunks are connections that allow devices to communicate using up
to four links in parallel. Port trunks provide two benefits:
■
They can potentially double, triple or quadruple the bandwidth of a
connection.
■
They can provide redundancy — if one link is broken, the other links
share the traffic for that link.
For more information, see
“Port Trunks”
on
page 157
