Understanding Port Trunk Groups
Port t runk groups a re u sed t o com bine a num ber o f ports t ogether t o make a si ngle hi gh-band-width data pi peline. Another
advantage of i mplementing port t runk g roups i s redundancy, as i f o ne o f t he ports or l inks fails i n t he port t runk group, t he
network connection to t he remote Switch will be maintained. The table below shows the maximum amount of groups supported
for each trunk group and the potential bit rate for the DGS-3200-10, DGS-3200-16, and DGS-3200-24 Switches.
