Introduction
1-6
Active Trunk Links
The number of links participating in the trunking group.
If all the ports in the trunking group are the same speed and conÞgured to the
same duplex mode, the equation is:
1000
------
Speed x # of ports
If the ports in the trunking group are different speeds, the equation is:
1000
------
Speed 1 + Speed 2 + Speed 3 + Speed n...

Multiple trunks can also be established between chassis-based switches, but only
one group of trunk ports will be active. The trunked ports do not necessarily need
to be on the same module. A Blocked state for all ports in the Group in Standby
will be reßected on the SmartTrunking Local Management screen.

The active path is determined by
the lowest combined path cost.
The higher path cost ports will be blocked.
