MultiLink Trunks
A MultiLink Trunk (MLT)
1
allows you to group up to four switch ports together to
form a link to another switch or server, thus increasing aggregate throughput of
the interconnection between the devices (up to 800 Mb/s in full-duplex mode with
optional 100BASE-T/F MDAs installed). You can configure up to six MultiLink
Trunks. The MLT members can reside on a single unit or on multiple units within
the same stack configuration as a distributed trunk. MLT software detects
misconfigured (or broken) trunk links and redirects traffic on the misconfigured or
broken trunk link to other trunk members within that MLT.
You can use the MultiLink Trunk Configuration screen to create switch-to-switch
and switch-to-server MLT links (see Figure 1-38
and Figure 1-39).
Figure 1-38
shows two trunks (T1 and T2) connecting switch S1 to switches S2
and S3.
