Port Trunking
Overview
Overview
This chapter describes creating and modifying port trunk groups. This
includes non-protocol trunks and LACP (802.3ad) trunks.

trunk group
Port trunking allows you to assign up to eight physical links to one logical link
(trunk) that functions as a single, higher-speed link providing dramatically
increased bandwidth. This capability applies to connections between back­
bone devices as well as to connections in other network areas where traffic
bottlenecks exist. A
trunk group is a set of up to eight ports configured as
members of the same port trunk. Note that the ports in a trunk group do not
have to be consecutive. For example:
The multiple physical links in a trunk behave as one logical link

With full-duplex operation in a eight-port trunk group, trunking enables the
