3-6. Trunking
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 current 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.
Function name:

When configuring the link aggregation function, you should check that whether
the aggregated ports are in full-duplex mode as well as their speed is the
same or not. The aggregated ports are in the same VLAN group.
