The following figure illustrates an example of 2-port trunk connection

between switch A and switch B. The aggregated bandwidth of the trunk

is 400Mbps.

Rules :
1. One switch can be configured to have up to 2 trunks and each trunk

is composed of 2 trunking ports.

2. One trunking port can only belong to one trunk.
3. Only one trunk can exist between two switch units.
4. Crossover UTP cables should be used at the same time for one trunk

connection. The length of each cable can be up to 100 meters.

5. When the switched data ports are enabled as trunking ports, they

can only serve trunking function, but no other data function.

6. Since the trunking is proprietary, the switches do not support trunk

connection to other brand’s switches.
