Port Trunking
Port Trunking allows you to assign physical links to one logical link that functions as a single, higher-speed link, providing dramatically increased bandwidth. Use Port Trunking to bundle multiple connections and use the combined bandwidth as if it were a single larger “pipe”.
Trunk Mode must be enabled to add a port to a trunk group.
To access the page, navigate to Switching > Link Aggregation > Port Trunking.

| Mode |
LACP allows for the automatic detection of links in a Port Trunking Group when connected to a LACP-compliant Switch. Ensure both the Switch and device connected to are the same mode in order for them to function, otherwise they will not work. Static configuration is used when connecting to a Switch that does not support LACP.
