6.5.4 Port Trunk

The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for

exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link

Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link

Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation

Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner. Link

aggregation lets you group up to eight ports into two dedicated connections. This

feature can expand bandwidth between 2 (or more) devices. LACP operation requires

full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE 802.3ad.
