Clients accessing data from the servers (FS1 and FS2) are provided with
maximized bandwidth through trunks T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5. Trunk members
(the ports making up each trunk) do not have to be consecutive switch ports; you
can select ports randomly, as shown by T5.
With spanning tree enabled, one of the trunks (T2 or T3) acts as a redundant
(backup) trunk to switch S2. With spanning tree disabled, you must configure
trunks T2 and T3 into separate VLANs for this configuration to function properly
(see “IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Workgroups
” on page 1-20).

The trunk configuration screens for switches S1 to S4 are shown in “Trunk
Configuration Screen Examples” following this section. For detailed information
about configuring trunks, see “MultiLink Trunk Configuration” on page 3-39.
