Allows users to aggregate up to 16 physical links into one logical bundle. The bundle can consist of any
port in the chassis, ensuring that the bundle remains active in the event of a port, ASIC, or module
failure. The bundle can sustain the failure of any physical link without causing a reset. Additionally,
Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) multipathing provides the intelligence to load balance across up to 16
equal cost paths and, in the event of a switch failure, to dynamically reroute traffic.
