Port Team Configuration
Port teaming is a feature deployed in scenarios where the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is not used to detect link failures. If an uplink connection fails, Alteon notifies uplink routers and switches of the failure instead of waiting for the routers and switches to time out.
This feature is also used to operationally link ports or trunks so that when one port or trunk in the team is down, all others in the team are operationally disabled. Alteon supports a maximum of 8 port teams.
