Port Trunking

Understanding Port Trunk Groups
Port trunk groups are used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-band-width data pipeline. Another
advantage of implementing port trunk groups is redundancy, as if one of the ports or links fails in the port trunk group, the
network connection to the remote Switch will be maintained. The table below shows the maximum amount of groups supported
for each trunk group and the potential bit rate for the DGS-3200-10, DGS-3200-16, and DGS-3200-24 Switches.

Internal cost represents a quicker transmission. Selecting 0 (zero) for this parameter will set
the quickest route automatically and optimally for an interface.
Enter a value between 0 and 240 to set the priority for the port interface. A higher priority will
designate the interface to forward packets first. A lower number denotes a higher priority.
