Scenario 2: Static or dynamic trunking
You are the IT administrator for a midsize financial services company.
It will soon double its number of traders, all of whom access mission-critical data
stored on data center servers.
Delays or link failures could cost millions, so you configure a trunk with maximum
number of links between the two switches to increase resilience and bandwidth.
Based on what you have learned, which would you use to aggregate bandwidth?
a. Static trunking
b. Dynamic trunking
Dynamic trunking is a better choice in this case. If a trunked link fails, a standby link
can automatically take its place. This ensures high availability of mission-critical data.
