Trunking

May 1, 2024 3 minute read

Trunking is a fundamental concept in the world of networking. It refers to the process of combining multiple physical network links into a single, logical link, allowing for greater bandwidth and redundancy between two or more devices.

Understanding Trunking

In a typical network setup, devices are connected to each other using individual network cables. These cables carry data between the devices, but their capacity is limited. Trunking addresses this limitation by combining multiple cables into a single, high-capacity link.
