Trunk groups can provide super-bandwidth connections between GbE Switch Modules 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 11 trunk groups can be configured on the GbE Switch Mod- ule, with the following restrictions:

„Any physical switch port can belong to no more than one trunk group.

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

„Configure all ports in a trunk group with the same link configuration (speed, duplex, flow control).

„Trunking from non-Alteon devices must comply with Cisco® EtherChannel® technology.

By default, each trunk group is empty and disabled.
