MultiLink Trunks

MultiLink Trunks allow you to group up to four switch ports together to form a link to another switch or server, thus increasing aggregate throughput of the interconnection between the devices (up to 800 Mb/s in full-duplex mode). You can configure up to six MultiLink Trunks. The Trunk members can reside on a single unit or on multiple units within the same stack configuration as a distributed trunk. MultiLink Trunking software detects misconfigured (or broken) trunk links and redirects traffic on the misconfigured or broken trunk link to other trunk members within that trunk.

You can use the Trunk Configuration screen to create switch-to-switch and switch-to-server MultiLink Trunk links (see Figures 1-38 and 1-39).

Figure 1-38 shows two trunks (T1 and T2) connecting switch S1 to switches S2 and S3.
