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. Up to 12 static trunk groups can be configured on the
switch, with the following restrictions:
 Any physical switch port can belong to no more than one trunk group.
 Up to 12 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 OS devices must comply with Cisco
®
EtherChannel
®
technology.
By default, each trunk group is empty and disabled.
