Trunk Configuration
Trunk groups (portchannels) can provide super-bandwidth connections between switches or
other trunk capable devices. A trunk is a group of ports that act together, combining their band-
width to create a single, larger port. The following restrictions apply to trunk group configura-
tion:
 Any physical switch port can belong to no more than one trunk group.
 Up to eight ports 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-BLADE devices must comply with Cisco
®
EtherChannel
®
technology.
By default, each trunk group is empty and disabled.
