  • 1.  Trunking vs Aggregation

    Posted Apr 30, 2025 05:45 AM

    Generally all the network vendors refer single link between 2 switches as a trunk and multiple links between switches as aggregates (and ether channel etc).

    I am confused about how Aruba use the word trunk. In Aruba below step is enough to configure a link between 2 switches. No trunk keyword used.

    Vlan 10

    However below configuration is used when aggregating 2 links between switches, 

    trunk 1/B1,2/B1 trk1 lacp

    Can we say that "Trk" means aggregate in Aruba?

    Hi,

    Yes, trk (trunk) on Aruba (Procuvre) is equivalent to cisco port-channel
