Abstract: A system and method for installing software onto a modular information handling system includes a network, a modular information handling system and a trunking management module. The network includes a network access node and at least two VLANs. The modular information handling system has a chassis, at least two blades and an embedded switch in communication with the blades. The embedded switch has a plurality of uplink ports in communication with the network access node. The trunking management module is in communication with the embedded switch and aggregates the uplink ports of the embedded switch to form a trunked connection with the network access node.
