MultiLink Trunking
The MultiLink Trunking feature allows you to group multiple ports, two to four
together, when forming a link to another switch or server, thus increasing
aggregate throughput of the interconnection between two devices, up to 800 Mb/s
in full-duplex mode. The Business Policy Switch can be configured with up to six
MultiLink Trunks. The trunk members can be configured within a single unit in
the stack or distributed between any of the units within the stack configuration
(distributed trunking).
For more information about the MultiLink Trunking feature, refer to Chapter 2,
“Network configuration .”
For information on configuring MultiLink Trunks using the CI menus, refer to
Chapter 3. To configure this feature using the Web-based management system,
