Trunking in Access Gateway mode 3 TABLE 8 Category Access Gateway trunking considerations for the Edge switch (Continued) Description Trunk area The port must be disabled before assigning a Trunk Area on the Edge switch to the port or removing a Trunk Area from a trunk group. PWWN Downgrade You cannot assign a Trunk Area to ports if the standby CP is running a firmware version earlier than Fabric OS V6.2.0. The entire Trunk Area trunk group share the same Port WWN within the trunk group. The PWWN is the same across the F_Port trunk that will have 0x2f or 0x25 as the first byte of the PWWN. The TA is part of the PWWN in the format listed in Table 9 on page 57. You can have trunking on, but you must disable the trunk ports before performing a firmware downgrade. Upgrade HA Sync Port Types Default Area portCfgTrunkPort port, 0 switchCfgTrunk 0 Port Swap Trunk Master Fast Write FICON FC8-48 blades Note: Removing a Trunk Area on ports running traffic is disruptive. Use caution before assigning a Trunk Area if you need to downgrade to a firmware earlier than Fabric OS v6.1.0. No limitations on upgrade to Fabric OS v6.4.0 if the F_Port is present on the switch. Upgrading is not disruptive. If you plug in a standby-CP with a firmware version earlier than Fabric OS v6.1.0 and a Trunk Area is present on the switch, the CP blades will become out of sync. Only F_Port trunk ports are allowed on a Trunk Area port. All other port types that include F/FL/E/EX are persistently disabled. Port X is a port that has its Default Area the same as its Trunk Area. The only time you can remove port X from the trunk group is if the entire trunk group has the Trunk Area disabled. portCfgTrunkPort port, 0 will fail if a Trunk Area is enabled on a port. The port must be Trunk Area-disabled first. switchCfgTrunk 0 will fail if a port has TA enabled. All ports on a switch must be TA disabled first. When you assign a Trunk Area to a trunk group, the Trunk Area cannot be port swapped; if a port is swapped, then you cannot assign a Trunk Area to that port. No more than one trunk master in a trunk group. The second trunk master will be persistently disabled with reason "Area has been acquired". When you assign a Trunk Area to a trunk group, the trunk group cannot have fast write enabled on those ports; if a port is fast write enabled, the port cannot be assigned a Trunk Area. FICON is not supported on F_Port trunk ports. However, FICON can still run on ports that are not F_Port trunked within the same switch. F_Port Trunking does not support shared area ports on the Brocade FC8-48 blades in a 48000. F_Port Trunking is supported on all ports on the Brocade FC8-48 in the DCX and DCX-4S.
