3.2.5 Aggregation
Port Aggregation is used to Aggregate Ports into a logical trunk usually called Link
Aggregation. Link Aggregation can bundle more than one port with the same speed, full
duplex and the same MAC address to be a single logical port, thus the logical port aggregates
the bandwidth of these ports. This allows the switch to aggregate multiple ports together to
form a high bandwidth backbone link.
