Gigabit Ethernet Port Link Aggregation

To fill the gab between 1 and 10Gbit/sec ports, AtlantaIX also offers aggregated Gigabit Ethernet ports. Link aggregation allows for bundling of two to four Gigabi Ethernet links into one virtual channel towards the shared fabirc. Link aggregation is also known as EtherChannel, Port Channel, port aggregation (PAgP) or trunking, depending on the vendor involved.
