The switch ports are color-coded into two groups of four, to indicate which ports can be used in the
same ISL Trunking group.
Note:
ISL Trunking is a Fabric OS feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined
bandwidth of up to four ISLs between two directly adjacent switches, while preserving
in-order delivery. For information about ISL Trunking, refer to the ISL Trunking User’s
Guide.
