MultiLink Trunks
MultiLink Trunks allow you to group up to four switch ports together to form a
link to another switch or server, thus increasing aggregate throughput of the
interconnection between the devices (up to 800 Mb/s in full-duplex mode). You
can configure up to six MultiLink Trunks. MultiLink Trunking software detects
misconfigured (or broken) trunk links and redirects traffic on the misconfigured or
broken trunk link to other trunk members within that trunk.
You can use the Trunk Configuration screen to create switch-to-switch and
switch-to-server MultiLink Trunk links (see Figure 1-33
and Figure 1-34).
Figure 1-33
shows two trunks (T1 and T2) connecting switch S1 to switches S2
and S3.
