Introduction
SmartSTACK 10 ELS10-26 Trunking
The SmartSTACK 10 ELS10-26 allows two trunk groups with up to
eight ports each to be connected between the SmartSTACK 10
ELS10-26 and other devices in the FastNetwork and SmartSTACK
families. This capability provides a scalable dedicated bandwidth
of up to 160 Mbps for 10 Mbps ports and 400 Mbps for 100 Mbps
ports.
For example, local traffic, such as the Manufacturing Department’s
internal traffic, can be easily handled by a single, 10 Mbps
connection. However, when the Manufacturing Department needs
access to the corporate database, the traffic could travel over a
trunk line, thereby increasing the speed of transmission.
Figure 1-4 illustrates the trunking of multiple SmartSTACK 10
ELS10-26 ports to increase the bandwidth.
