Trunk Config - Planet SGSW-4802 User Manual

3.5 Trunk config

The SGSW-4802 provides 2 trunk groups and maximum up to 4-ports per trunk. Port Trunking is the
ability to group together several switch ports to increase the bandwidth between the management
switch and other switch. This is an inexpensive method to increase throughput between switches (or to
servers). We define the Port Trunking as the ability to group a set of ports into a single logical link. The
port trunk acts as single link between switches. It doesn't create a loop even though it is physically
connected as such.
