Then reissue the command: switch:admin> porttrunkarea --disable 36-39 Trunk area 37 disabled for ports 36, 37, 38 and 39. F_Port Trunking monitoring For F_Port masterless trunking, you must install Filter, EE or TT monitors on the F_Port trunk port. Whenever the master port changes, it is required to move the monitor to the new master port. For example, if a master port goes down, a new master is selected from the remaining slave ports. APM must delete the monitor from the old master and install the monitor on new master port. If you attempt to add a monitor to a slave port, it is automatically added to the master port. Trunking considerations for the Edge switch Table 8 describes the Access Gateway trunking considerations for the Edge switch. TABLE 8 Category Access Gateway trunking considerations for the Edge switch Description Area assignment You statically assign the area within the trunk group on the Edge switch. That group is the F_Port masterless trunk. The static trunk area you assign must fall within the F_Port trunk group starting from port 0 on a Edge switch or blade. The static trunk area you assign must be one of the port's default areas of the trunk group. 42 Access Gateway Administrator's Guide 53-1001345-01
