4-2-5. Aggregation
The Aggregation (Port Trunking) Configuration is used to configure the
settings of Link Aggregation. You can bundle more than one port with the same
speed, full duplex and the same MAC to be one single logical port, thus the logical
port aggregates the bandwidth of these bundled ports This means you can apply
your current Ethernet equipments to build the bandwidth aggregation. For example,
if there are three Fast Ethernet ports aggregated in a logical port, this logical port
will have bandwidth of three times high as a single Fast Ethernet port.
