Page 34: Enabling Trunking
Enabling Trunking Trunking, also known as link aggregation, is the use of two or more links between nodes (switches and/or servers) in parallel to increase the bandwidth. A side benefit is that a failure of a link will cause the traffic to be redistributed among the remaining links, though at reduced overall capacity. -
