To use a multiple-mode trunk, you need a switch that supports manually configurable trunking over multiple port connections. The switch determines how to forward incoming packets to the filer, so you configure the switch so that all the port connections are part of a single logical port. For information about configuring the switch, see the switch documentation.
Filer network interfaces that are part of the same trunk do not have to be on the same network card, but some Ethernet switches and routers require that all members of the trunk be either half duplex or full duplex.
