Port Trunking
Port trunking is used to combine a number of ports
together to make a single high-bandwidth data pipeline.
The participating parts are called members of a trunk
group, with one port designated as the
master
of the group.
Since all members of the trunk group must be configured
to operate in the same manner, all settings changes made
to the master port are applied to all members of the trunk
group. Thus, when configuring the ports in a trunk group,
you only need to configure the master port.
The DES-3225G supports 3 trunk groups, which may
include from 2 to 8 switch ports each, except for the third
