Trunk Assignment

The Kingston KNS1650R, KNS2450R, and KNS3250R switches support link aggregation/trunking. Trunking is a method of grouping multiple physical links as a single logical link. The benet is to be able to group multiple lower speed links into one high speed link for bandwidth aggregation. For instance, four full duplex 100Mbps links, such as port 1-4, could be grouped into one 800Mbps link for Trunk 1. Trunking is most commonly used between the switch and server or between two switches.

See the chart below for the maximum number of trunks per switch:

Switch Model	Number of Trunks

KNS1650/R 16 Port Switch	Up to 4 Trunks

KNS2450/R 24 Port Switch	Up to 6 Trunks

KNS3250/R 32 Port Switch	Up to 8 Trunks

Each port based trunk can have between 2-4 trunk ports as members of the trunk. MAC Address based trunks must have 4 trunk ports per trunk.
