NOTE
The ports in a trunk group make a single logical link. Therefore, all the ports in a trunk group must
be connected to the same device at the other end.

Trunk group connectivity to a server

To support termination of a trunk group, the server must have either multiple network interface
cards (NICs) or either a dual or quad interface card installed. The trunk server is designated as a
server with multiple adapters or a single adapter with multiple ports that share the same MAC and
IP address.
