Combining port bandwidth of two modules
Introduction
Two modules installed in a stack can have their bandwidth combined
(known as link aggregrated) to increase bandwidth between this stack
and another device or stack.
Prevent network loops
Link aggregation must be configured in Intel Device View to prevent a
loop. When two modules are installed in a stack and connected to anoth-
er single device or stack (without redundancy or link aggregation con-
figured), then a loop may be created.
Note Even with spanning tree enabled, a delay of 10 to 15 seconds
may occur before the loop is discovered
