You create a trunk of virtual interfaces to eliminate a switch as a single point of failure. A trunk of virtual interfaces is known as a second-level virtual interface.
Note: With second-level interfaces, if a switch fails and there is a failover to another switch, it might take a few minutes for the spanning tree relay to be reconfigured.
You can use second-level virtual interfaces on a single filer or in a cluster.
