6.8 Port Trunk Configuration
Port trunk allows multiple links to be bundled together and act as a single physical link to
increase throughput. It provides load balancing, and redundancy of links in a switched
inter-network. Actually, the link does not have an inherent total bandwidth equal to the sum
of its component physical links. Traffic in a trunk is distributed across an individual link
within the trunk in a deterministic method that called a hash algorithm. Traffic pattern on the
network should be considered carefully before you apply it. When a proper hash algorithm
is used, traffic is kind of randomly decided to be transmitted across either link within the
trunk and load balancing will be seen.
Grouping the members of Trunk. Normal means the port is not a trunk port.
