Francois, In Foundry the trunking command references link aggregation that is setup statically, and lacp references link aggreation that is configured for dynamic.

LACP stands for Link Aggregation Control Protocol, and is a part of the IEEE specification for link aggregation (formerly 802.3ad, now 802.1AX-2008) whereby multiple physical ports/interfaces (generally of the same speed) can be bundled together to form a link whose bandwidth roughly equals the sum of the individual port speeds, providing for (typically not 50/50) load sharing of the individual links at layer 2. You can typically do 'trunking' across an aggregated link (LACP) bundle.
