Chapter 8: Static and LACP Port Trunks
140 Section I: Basic Operations
Here is how the example might look in table format for the ports on the
AT-8500 Series switch.
Caution
The example cited here illustrates a loop in a network. Network
loops should be avoided to prevent broadcast storms.
If the aggregate trunks go to different devices, you can create one
aggregator and let the AT-8500 Series switch form the trunks for you
automatically. This is illustrated in Figure 36. The ports of the two
aggregate trunks on the AT-8500 Series switch are members of the same
aggregator. It is the switch that determines that there are actually two
separate aggregate trunks.
