  • Page 52 ® xStack DES-3500 Series Layer 2 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual The Switch treats all ports in a trunk group as a single port. Data transmitted to a specific host (destination address) will always be transmitted over the same port in a trunk group. This allows packets in a data stream to arrive in the same order they were sent. NOTE: If any ports within the trunk group become disconnected, packets intended for the discon- nected port will be load shared among the other unlinked ports of the link aggregation group.
