Thus, when configuring the ports in a trunk group, you only need to
configure the anchor port.
The Switch supports 3 trunk groups, which may include from 2 to 8
switch ports each, except for the third trunk group which consists of
the 2 ports of the Slot 1, 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX front-panel
module. The anchor port for the first group is preset as port 5, the
anchor port for the second group is port 13 and the anchor port for
the third group is the first port (1x) on the 2-port module.

Figure 5-3. Port trunking example
The switch treats all ports in a trunk group as a single port. As such,
trunk ports will not be blocked by Spanning Tree (unless a redundant
link with higher STP priority is present).
Data transmitted to a specific host (destination address) will always
be transmitted over the same port in a trunk group. This allows
