4-2-5. Aggregation
The Aggregation (Port Trunking) Configuration is used to configure the settings of Link Aggregation. You can bundle ports by same speed, MAC, and full duplex to be a single logical port, thus the logical port can aggregate the bandwidth of these ports. This means you can apply your current Ethernet equipments to build the bandwidth aggregation. For example, if three Fast Ethernet ports are aggregated into a logical port, then this logical port’s bandwidth would be as three times high as a single Fast Ethernet port’s.
