Port Trunking
Port Trunking allows you to assign physical links to one
logical link that functions as a single, higher-speed link,
providing dramatically increased bandwidth. Use Port
Trunking to bundle multiple connections and use the
combined bandwidth as if it were a single larger “pipe”.
Important: You must enable Trunk Mode before
you can add a port to a trunk group.
