5.2. Trunking Application used with switch

Trunking allows you to increase the available bandwidth between switches by grouping ports into a trunk. Trunk can also be used to connect server to switches for higher bandwidth service required. You can use trunking to improve the throughput between segments. Moreover, this switch furtherly provides trunk with fail-over function, that is, when one of the links of trunk is fail or broken, the traffic originally go through that link will be automatically re-direct to other links of trunk, this give the trunk with redundancy and greatly increase the value of trunking.
