Figure 1-15 shows a typical server trunk topology utilizing the server trunk
configuration. FS1 utilizes dual MAC addresses, using one MAC address for each
NIC. For this reason, FS1 does not require a trunk assignment. FS2 is a single
MAC server (with a four-port NIC) and is set up as a server trunk configuration
(S1).
In this configuration example, server trunk S1 is assigned trunk members that
correspond to the information provided in Appendix B, “Server/Trunk
Connections.” This allows the trunks to operate at optimal efficiency.

Client/Server Configuration Utilizing MultiLink Trunks
Figure 1-16
shows an example of how MultiLink trunking can be used in a
client/server configuration.
In this example, both servers are connected directly to switch SW1. FS2 is
connected through a server trunk configuration (S1). The switch-to-switch
connections are through inter-switch trunks (I1, I2, I3, and I4).
