Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch1-64 309985-C Rev 00Each of the trunks shown in Figure 1-39 can be configured with up to four switchports to provide maximum aggregate bandwidth through each trunk, in full-duplexmode. As shown in this example, when traffic between switch-to-switchconnections approaches single port bandwidth limitations, creating a MultiLinkTrunk can supply the additional bandwidth required to improve the performance.Figure 1-40 shows a typical switch-to-server trunk configuration. In this example,file server FS1 uses dual MAC addresses, using one MAC address for eachnetwork interface controller (NIC). For this reason, FS1 does not require a trunkassignment. FS2 is a single MAC server (with a four-port NIC) and is set up astrunk configuration T1.Figure 1-40. Switch-to-Server Trunk Configuration ExampleClient/Server Configuration Using MultiLink TrunksFigure 1-41 shows an example of how MultiLink Trunking can be used in aclient/server configuration. In this example, both servers are connected directly toswitch S1. FS2 is connected through a trunk configuration (T1). Theswitch-to-switch connections are through trunks (T2, T3, T4, and T5).S1FS1 FS2T1BS41032A
