What is Port Channel?
A port channel (also known as link aggregation, link bundling, etherchannel, or trunking) combines multiple physical network links into a single logical channel. This increases bandwidth, provides redundancy, and enhances network resilience. It is commonly used to connect network devices such as switches and servers where high bandwidth and availability are critical.
