5-4-5. Trunking

Trunking provides a standardized means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances. To reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation

Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner. Link aggregation allows grouping of up to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode. For more detailed information refer to IEEE 802.3ad.

If there are two trunk groups A and B, and B group is enabled LACP, then it will act as a redundant link (Backup group for Trunk group A). If trunk group A fails, Group B will be it's backup.
