MultiLink Trunking is a point-to-point connection that aggregates multiple ports so that they logically act like a single port with the aggregated bandwidth. Grouping multiple ports into one logical link lets you achieve higher aggregate throughput on a switch-to-switch or server-to-server application.
MultiLink Trunking Manager manages MultiLink Trunks (MLTs) across devices in a network. You can also use MultiLink Trunking Manager to manage Split MultiLink Trunking (SMLT).
This section describes using MultiLink Trunking Manager to manage single and multiple device configurations on switches. It includes the following information:
