Maximum links in a trunk

Hi,

 

Can anyone confirm that the maximum number of links that can be part of a trunk is 8?

 

Thanks in advance.

  • With one trunk, you can aggregate a maximum of eight links. For optimal performance, you should aggregate links in powers of two. Thus, you ideally aggregate two, four, or eight links.
  • Thanks again El_Jefe. Are you aware of any documentation that specifically states this?
  • Can't find any reference to a maximum anywhere, although the LACP standard has a maximum of 8 I believe but obviously using LACP is optional.
