5.2 Trunking Application Used with Switch runking allows you to increase the available bandwidth between switches by grouping ports into
trunk. Trunking can also be used to connect a server to switches if higher bandwidth service is
quired. You can use trunking to improve the throughput between segments. Moreover, this
itch provides trunking with a fail-over function. When one of the links of a trunk fails or
reaks, the traffic originally moving through that link will automatically be re-directed to other
nks of the trunk. This gives the trunk redundancy and greatly increases the value of trunking.
