Increasing external bandwidth
In the additional physical user network configurations, the bond1 and bond2 connections are
internally configured to support LACP trunking through the VC. Figures 21 and 22 illustrate the
connections for one and two additional networks.
Cables should be added in numerically descending order starting with the highest numbered
connection port for a given bond.
The customer edge switch must support LACP trunking and be appropriately configured for the
trunking to operate properly.
