output on the same link in a trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-switch trunk

use this mode for switch-to-router trunk links where the destination MAC address
is the same for all traffic.

same link in a trunk. This mode works best for switch-to-router or switch-to-server
trunk links where traffic through the switch is received from many different hosts.

for all traffic.
• Source and Destination MAC Address: All traffic with the same source and
