Figure 45 Port Trunk
If Switch A sends packets to Switch B by way of the aggregated link, Switch A determines the
member port for transmitting the traffic based on the calculation result of load sharing. When
one member port of the aggregated link fails, the traffic transmitted through the port is taken
over by another normal port based on traffic sharing algorithm.

Port trunk and the following port configurations cannot be used together:

Port redundancy: A port added to a trunk group cannot be configured as a redundant port,
while a redundant port cannot be added to a trunk group.



Enable GMRP on a trunk port.

Add a GMRP-enabled port to a trunk group.

Add a trunk port to a static unicast/multicast entry.
