Trunk groups can provide super-bandwidth connections between GbE2 Interconnect Switches or other trunk capable devices. A trunk is a group of ports that act together, combining their bandwidth to create a single, larger port. Up to 12 trunk groups can be configured on the GbE2 Interconnect Switch, with the following restrictions.

Any physical GbE2 Interconnect Switch port can belong to no more than one trunk group.

Up to six ports/trunks can belong to the same trunk group.

All ports in a trunk must have the same configuration for speed, flow control, and auto negotiation.

Trunking from other devices must comply with Cisco® EtherChannel® technology.

By default, port 17 and port 18 are trunked to support an internal switch-to-switch crosslink trunk.

NOTE: See the HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Switch Application Guide for information on how to use port trunks.
