5-4-5. Trunk
Port Trunking allows multiple devices with Link Aggregation Control
instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation
Group to which the links belong. Link aggregation lets you group 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 detail information, refer to IEEE
802.3ad.
