Configuring Your ELS10-26
Figure 3-1. Trunk Connections
Trunk Groups
Each set of connections between two ELS10-26s is called a Trunk
Group. You can create two Trunk Groups, each having up to eight
ports, to interconnect your ELS10-26s.
For example, if you have three ELS10-26s (A, B, and C), as shown
in Figure 3-2, you could connect them using a single Ethernet
segment. However, that would limit the interconnection to
10 Mbps. To solve this problem, you could connect A to B with one
Trunk Group, and connect B to C with a second Trunk Group.
