Trunk Config
Port Trunking is the ability to group together several switch ports to increase the
bandwidth between Compex SGX3226 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 does not create a loop even though it is physically connected
as such.
