trunk group
Port trunking allows you to assign physical links to one logical link (trunk)
that functions as a single, higher-speed link providing dramatically increased
bandwidth. This capability applies to connections between backbone devices
as well as to connections in other network areas where traffic bottlenecks
exist.

Ports per trunk (maximum)

A trunk group is a set of ports configured as members of the same port trunk.
