member of a trunk group without any handshaking with its peer port. This is also a disadvantage
because the peer ports of your static trunk group may not know that they should aggregate t ogether
to form a "logical trunked port." Using Static Trunk on both end of a link is strongly recommended.
NOTE: Low speed links will stay in "not ready" state when using static trunk to aggregate with high
speed l inks.
