Creating Trunk Groups
You can create multiple links between devices that work as one virtual, aggregate link. A
port trunk offers a dramatic increase in bandwidth for network segments where
bottlenecks exist, as well as providing a fault-tolerant link between two devices. You can
create up to eight trunks at a time.
The switch supports both static trunking and dynamic Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP). Static trunks have to be manually configured at both ends of the link, and the
switches must comply with the Cisco EtherChannel standard. On the other hand, LACP
configured ports can automatically negotiate a trunked link with LACP-configured ports on
another device. You can configure any number of ports on the switch as LACP, as long as
they are not already configured as part of a static trunk. If ports on another device are also
configured as LACP, the switch and the other device will negotiate a trunk link between
them. If an LACP trunk consists of more than eight ports, all other ports will be placed in a
