4.5 Trunking 
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. In conclusion, Link 
aggregation lets you group up to eight consecutive ports into a 
single dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth 
to a device on the network. LACP operation requires 
full-duplex mode, 
more detail information refers to IEEE 
802.3ad.
