4.3 Aggregation

Port trunk allows multiple links to be bundled together and act as a single physical link for
increased throughput. It provides load balancing, and redundancy of links in a switched
inter-network. Actually, the link does not have an inherent total bandwidth equal to the sum of its
component physical links. Traffic in a trunk is distributed across an individual link within the trunk
in a deterministic method that called a hash algorithm. The hash algorithm automatically applies
load balancing to the ports in the trunk. A port failure within the trunk group causes the network
traffic to be directed to the remaining ports. Load balancing is maintained whenever a link in a
trunk is lost or returned to service.
