To define a load-sharing group, you assign a group of ports to a single, logical port 
number. To enable or disable a load-sharing group, use the following commands:
enable sharing <master_port> grouping <portlist>
disable sharing <master_port>
The following example defines a load-sharing group that contains ports 9 through 12, 
and uses the first port in the group as the master logical port 9:
enable sharing 9 grouping 9-12
In this example, logical port 9 represents physical ports 9 through 12.
