MAC Address Based Mode Bit Selection

Port trunking is determined by a packet’s source MAC address (SA) and destination MAC address (DA). Select
which bit-pair ([0:1], [2:3], [4:5], [6:7]) you want the management system to select from the SA and DA of each
incoming Ethernet data packet. The management system then maps the packet to a port according to the procedure
discussed next.
