4.4.5 Trunking
Trunking provides a standardized means for exchanging information
between multiple devices on a link. This allows their Link Aggregation
Control to reach an agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation
Group, move the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enable its
transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner. Trunk up
to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This
feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP
operation requires full-duplex mode. For more detailed information,
please refer to IEEE 802.3ad.
