Chapter 3: Switch Virtualization BMD00082, February 2009
Trunking
Trunks provide super-bandwidth, multi-link connections between switch modules or other
trunk-capable devices. A trunk is a group of ports that act together, combining their bandwidth
to create a single, larger virtual link.
In the VSE SmartConnect software, trunks function as static Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs)
that are compatible with Cisco’s EtherChannel technology.
VSE SmartConnect software supports the following trunk types:
Up to 64 external trunks (2 independent trunks for each of 32 VSGs)
Up to 56 internal trunks are available when multiple switches are placed in a stacked con-
figuration (see “Stacking” on page 43).
For additional limits, see “Trunking Rules” on page 32.
