Overview

When using port trunk groups between two switches, as shown in
virtual link between the switches, operating up to 60Gb per second, depending on how many
physical ports are combined. Each GbESM supports up to 13 trunk groups, and each trunk
group can contain up to six member ports.

Trunk groups are also useful for connecting a GbE Switch Module to third-party devices that
support link aggregation, such as Cisco routers and switches with EtherChannel technology
(not ISL trunking technology) and Sun's Quad Fast Ethernet Adapter. Trunk Group technology
is compatible with these devices when they are configured manually.
