3.2.6. Aggregation Configuration
Aggregation (Port Trunking) Configuration is used to configure Link Aggregation. You can
bundle more than one port with the same speed and duplex settings to form a single logical
port. The logical port aggregates the bandwidth of the individual member ports. This allows
you to create a higher speed uplink or backbone connection via bandwidth aggregation. For
example, if there are three Gigabit Ethernet ports aggregated in a logical port, then this
logical port has bandwidth three times as high as a single Gigabit Ethernet port – 3Gbps (in
half duplex mode) or 6Gbps (in full duplex mode).
