Configuring a Port Group
A port group consists of a set of interfaces. You must configure port groups if you plan to connect to transparent
nodes or Layer 2 devices, such as load balancers.
Execute this command in the configuration mode to create or delete a port group.
If the egress port has multiple ports, then traffic is load balanced.
