CHAPTER 7
Ports and Trunking
Trunk groups can provide super-bandwidth, multi-link connections between the RackSwitch G8124
(G8124) and other trunk-capable devices. A trunk group is a group of ports that act together,
combining their bandwidth to create a single, larger virtual link. This chapter provides configuration
background and examples for trunking multiple ports together:
