Using Hunt Groups to Aggregate Bandwidth
between Switches
Hunt Group
Overview
Hunt groups allow you to aggregate multiple switch ports to act as
one switch port, effectively combining the bandwidth into a single
connection. Frames sent to the Hunt Group will be transmitted by
one of the ports in the Hunt Group. Hunt Groups load share traffic
across all member ports, this aggregates the bandwidth of the Hunt
Group ports. Hunt groups also provide fault tolerance. If a port in a
hunt group fails, the remaining ports in the hunt group will assume
the traffic and continue forwarding.
