Sun Trunking Technology

Sun Trunking™ software provides the ability to aggregate multiple links between a pair of devices so that they work in parallel as if they were a single link. Once aggregated, these point-to-point links operate as a single highly available “fat pipe,” providing increased network bandwidth as well as high availability. For a given link level connection, trunking enables you to add bandwidth up to the maximum number of network interface links supported.

Note

Sun Trunking is not included with the Solaris operating system. This is an unbundled software product.

Sun Trunking provides trunking support for the following network interface cards:

  • Sun Quad FastEthernet adapter, qfe

  • Sun GigabitEthernet adapter, ge

  • Sun GigaSwift Ethernet ...
