EtherChannel

EtherChannel is a networking technology that combines multiple physical network connections into a single logical link. This allows data to flow across several cables simultaneously, increasing bandwidth and providing redundancy. If one cable fails, the others continue to carry traffic, ensuring a more reliable connection. It's like having multiple lanes on a highway; more lanes mean more cars can travel quickly, and if one lane closes, traffic can still flow smoothly. EtherChannel is commonly used in enterprise networks to enhance performance and reliability between switches and other network devices.
