from VLAN 1 unless its PVID has been changed to something other than
1. Outgoing packets are tagged unless the packet’s VLAN ID is the same
as the PVID. When the PVID is set to “None,” all outgoing packets are
tagged.
Note:
If you select “Tagged Only” mode for a port, we recommend
setting the PVID to “None” as the standard configuration.
Aggregation
Port trunk allows multiple links to be bundled together and act as a single
physical link for increased throughput. It provides load balancing, and
redundancy of links in a switched inter-network. Actually, the link does
not have an inherent total bandwidth equal to the sum of its component
physical links. Traffic in a trunk is distributed across an individual link
within the trunk in a deterministic method that called a hash algorithm.
The hash algorithm automatically applies load balancing to the ports in
the trunk. A port failure within the trunk group causes the network traffic
to be directed to the remaining ports. Load balancing is maintained
whenever a link in a trunk is lost or returned to service.
Aggregation / Trunking Configuration
To assign a port to a trunk, click the required trunk number, and then click
Apply.

bandwidth by automatically aggregating several physical links together as
