Trunk groups can provide super-bandwidth connections between GbE2 Interconnect Switches
or other trunk capable devices. A trunk is a group of ports that act together, combining their
bandwidth to create a single, larger port. Up to 12 trunk groups can be configured on the
GbE Interconnect Switch, with the following restrictions.
•
•
•
•
•
Any physical GbE2 Interconnect Switch port can belong to no more than one trunk
group.
Up to six ports/trunks can belong to the same trunk group.
Best performance is achieved when all ports in a trunk are configured for the same speed.
Trunking from other devices must comply with Cisco® EtherChannel® technology.
By default, port 17 and port 18 are trunked to support an internal switch to switch
crosslink trunk.
NOTE:
Refer to the
HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Switch Application Guide
