Using Port Trunking

Link Aggregation allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a Link Aggregation Group. A MAC client can treat Link Aggregation Groups as if they were a single link.

EDS-726’s Port Trunking feature allows devices to communicate by aggregating up to four links in parallel, with a maximum of eight ports for each link. If one of the eight ports fails, the other seven ports will provide back up and share the traffic automatically.

Port trunking can be used to combine up to eight ports between two EDS-726 switches. If all ports on both switch units are configured as 100BASE-TX and they are operating in full duplex, the potential bandwidth of the connection will be 1600 Mbps.
