maintain the order of the port connections, you would
connect port 2 on the first AT-9410GB switch to port 1 on the
second AT-9410GB, port 3 to port 2, and so on.
❑ The ports of a port trunk must be of the same type. For example,
they can be all twisted pair ports or all fiber optic ports.
❑ You can create a port trunk of the GBIC modules installed in the
GBIC1 and GBIC2 slots, provided that the GBIC modules are of the
same type.
❑ The ports on the end node must also be configured as a port
trunk.
Figure 18 shows an example of a port trunk between an AT-9410GB
switch and a network server. The server is connected to the switch with
four data links. The links are connected to ports 1 through 4 on the
switch.

You can also use port trunks to increase the bandwidth between
switches. The example in Figure 19 shows a port trunk of four data links
between two AT-9410GB Gigabit Ethernet switches.
