Trunk Assignment
The Kingston KNS1650R, KNS2450R, and KNS3250R switches support link
aggregation/trunking. Trunking is a method of grouping multiple physical links
as a single logical link. The benet is to be able to group multiple lower speed
links into one high speed link for bandwidth aggregation. For instance, four full
duplex 100Mbps links, such as port 1-4, could be grouped into one 800Mbps link
for Trunk 1. Trunking is most commonly used between the switch and server or
between two switches.
See the chart below for the maximum number of trunks per switch:
Switch Model Number of Trunks
KNS1650/R 16 Port Switch Up to 4 Trunks
KNS2450/R 24 Port Switch Up to 6 Trunks
KNS3250/R 32 Port Switch Up to 8 Trunks
Each port based trunk can have between 2-4 trunk ports as members of the trunk.
MAC Address based trunks must have 4 trunk ports per trunk.
