Trunk group overview
FIGURE 62 Trunk group application within a FastIron network
NOTE
The ports in a trunk group make a single logical link. Therefore, all the ports in a trunk group must
be connected to the same device at the other end.
Trunk group connectivity to a server
To support termination of a trunk group, the server must have multiple network interface cards
(NICs) or either a dual or quad interface card installed. The trunk server is designated as a server
with multiple adapters or a single adapter with multiple ports that share the same MAC address
and IP address.
Figure 63 shows an example of a trunk group between a server and a Brocade device.
