PORT TRUNKING COMMANDS

Port Trunking Commands

Ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery. Or you can use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to automatically negotiate a trunk link between this switch and another network device. You can configure trunks between switches of the same type. This switch supports up to six trunks. The uplink ports can be trunked together and the VDSL ports can be trunked together.
