Re: Trunking query

It depends also on your switch. It should also be able to handle with it.
You could have a better performance by outgoing packets. on a backup server
you have
incoming packets and in that case the switch wont send the packets to two
nics.

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a performance benefit to using trunking ?
I am trying to convince some colleagues that our new backup network
would be better server by creating 2 2Gb trunks on our T2000 media
servers and connecting to 2 separate backup VLANS rather than 4 single
Gb connections to 4 backup VLANs.

The issue I have is that each T2000 will be driving at least one
StorageTek T10K and I think having trunks on the front end would mean
better network throughput to stream to these very fast tape drives.

All advice/ thoughts welcome.
Dave
