METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRUNKING MULTIPLE PORTS IN A NETWORK SWITCH

摘要

A network switch configured for switching data packets across multiple ports uses an address table to generate frame forwarding information. A decision-making engine checks the frame forwarding information to determine whether the frame is to be forwarded on a port that is part of a trunk. When the frame is to be output on a trunk port, the decision-making engine determines the port on which to transmit the frame.
