This configuration allows traffic to be carried over both trunks simultaneously (instead of keeping one trunk in blocking mode), which reduces the total traffic carried over each trunk while still maintaining a fault-tolerant configuration. Figure 11-2 shows a parallel trunk configuration between two switches, using the Fast Ethernet uplink ports on the supervisor engine. 78-12647-02 Software Configuration Guide-Catalyst 4000 Family, Catalyst 2948G, Catalyst 2980G, Releases 6.3 and 6.4 11-11

Load-Sharing VLAN Traffic over Parallel Trunks Example

Using spanning tree port-VLAN priorities, you can load-share VLAN traffic over parallel trunk ports so

that traffic from some VLANs travels over one trunk, while traffic from other VLANs travels over the

other trunk. This configuration allows traffic to be carried over both trunks simultaneously (instead of

keeping one trunk in blocking mode), which reduces the total traffic carried over each trunk while still

maintaining a fault-tolerant configuration.

Figure 11-2

shows a parallel trunk configuration between two switches, using the Fast Ethernet uplink

ports on the supervisor engine.
