Example 3: Client/Server MLT

In this example, both servers are connected directly to the switch. File server 2 is connected through multilink trunk MLT 1. The switch-to-switch connections are through MLT 2, MLT 3, and MLT 4. Clients access data from the servers (File server 1 and File server 2) and receive maximized bandwidth through MLT 1, MLT 2, MLT 3, and MLT 4.

The following illustration shows how you can use multilink trunks in a client/server configuration.
