Selected Answers: A, B


On a BIG-IP system, a trunk is a logical grouping of physical interfaces that functions as a single interface, a process commonly known as link aggregation. This configuration provides two primary benefits:
Increased Bandwidth: By combining multiple physical links (e.g., four 100 Mbps links), the system aggregates their individual capacities into a single high-capacity logical link (e.g., 400 Mbps).
Link Redundancy: It ensures high availability through link failover. If one member link in the trunk becomes unavailable or fails, traffic is automatically redistributed across the remaining active links, preventing a network outage.
