Hunt Groups
Hunt groups allow you to aggregate bandwidth from multiple ports
so they act as one high-bandwidth switch port. Hunt groups create
multi-gigabit pipes to transport traffic through the highest traffic
areas of your network. You can create hunt groups that interoperate
with other vendor’s equipment (for example, Cisco’s Etherchannel
and Sun’s Quad Adapter).
OpenTrunk Technology
All of the Cajun family of switches are delivered as a plug-and-play
IEEE 802.1D standard bridge, but support several VLAN tagging
schemes. This makes the switch highly interoperable in existing
networks because:
■
Any port can be a trunk port.
■
Ports have configurable VLAN tagging on a per-port basis.
■
Ports process a number of popular VLAN tagging schemes,
including major vendors’ proprietary schemes.
