Figure 12-13. Example of Distributed Trunking Configuration

upstream forwarding

In figure 12-14,three different distributed trunks with three different servers have one common ISC link. Each trunk only spans two distributed trunking switches. The distributed trunking switches are connected at the ISC ports so they can exchange information that allows them to appear as one device to the server.
