You can configure each of the trunks shown in
ports to provide up to 800 Mb/s aggregate bandwidth through each trunk, in
full-duplex mode. As shown in this example, when traffic between
switch-to-switch connections approaches single port bandwidth limitations,
creating a MultiLink Trunk can supply the additional bandwidth required to
improve the performance.

file server FS1 uses dual MAC addresses, using one MAC address for each
network interface card (NIC). For this reason, FS1 does not require a trunk
assignment. FS2 is a single MAC server (with a four-port NIC) and is set up as
trunk configuration T1.
