BLADE OS 5.1 Application Guide
70 Chapter 2: Ports and Trunking BMD00113, September 2009
Port Trunking Example
In this example, the uplink ports and the crosslink ports on each switch are configured into a total of
five trunk groups: two on each switch, and one trunk group at the crosslink between the two
switches.
Note – The actual mapping of switch ports to NIC interfaces is dependant on the operating system
software, the type of server blade, and the enclosure type. For more information, see the HP GbE2c
Ethernet Blade Switch User Guide.
