Static or dynamic trunk group overview

Configure port trunking before you connect the trunked links between switches.

IMPORTANT:

Failure to configure port trunking before connecting the trunked links between switches can result in a broadcast storm. If you need to connect the ports before configuring them for trunking, you can temporarily disable the ports until after you have configured the trunk.

An individual trunk can have up to eight links, with additional standby links if you are using LACP. You can configure trunk group types as follows:
