Configuration: Trunk

The Port Trunking Configuration is used to configure the settings of Link
Aggregation. You can bundle more than one port with the same speed, full
duplex and the same MAC to be a single logical port, thus the logical port
aggregates the bandwidth of these ports. This means you can apply your cur-
rent Ethernet equipments to build the bandwidth aggregation. For example,
if there are three Fast Ethernet ports aggregated in a logical port, then this
logical port has bandwidth three times as high as a single Fast Ethernet port
has.
The switch supports two kinds of port trunking methods:
³
LACP:
Ports using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (according to IEEE 802.3ad
specification) as their trunking method can choose their unique LACP
GroupID (1~3) to form a logic "trunked port". The benefit of using LACP
is that a port makes an agreement with its peer port before it becomes a
ready member of a "trunk group" (also called aggregator). LACP is safer
than the other trunking method - static trunk.
The switch LACP does not support the followings:
Link Aggregation across switches
Aggregation with non-IEEE 802.3 MAC link
Operating in half-duplex mode
Aggregate the ports with different data rates
