Port Trunking Commands
Ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link to increase the
bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery. Or you can
use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to automatically
negotiate a trunk link between this switch and another network device.
You can configure trunks between switches of the same type. This switch
supports up to six trunks. The uplink ports can be trunked together and
the VDSL ports can be trunked together.
Note: The access mode shown in the table is indicated by these
abbreviations:
NE (Normal Exec), PE (Privileged Exec),
GC (Global Configuration), IC (Interface Configuration),
LC (Line Configuration), VC (VLAN Database Configuration.)
