3 Trunking in Access Gateway mode TABLE 8 Category Access Gateway trunking considerations for the Edge switch Description Fast Write FICON 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. FC8-48 blades FC4-32 blade 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. If an FC4-32 blade has the Trunk Area enabled on ports 16 - 31 and the blade is swapped with a FC8-48 blade, the Trunk Area ports will be persistently disabled. You can run the porttrunkarea command to assign a Trunk Area on those ports. Trunking You must first enable Trunking on the port before the port can have a Trunk Area assigned to it. PID format F_Port masterless trunking is only supported in CORE PID format. Long Distance Port mirroring configdownload and configupload Long distance is not allowed when AG is enabled on a switch. This means you cannot enable long distance on ports that have a Trunk Area assigned to them. Port mirroring is not supported on Trunk Area ports or on the PID of an F_Port trunk port. If you issue the configdownload command for a port configuration that is not compatible with F_Port trunking, and the port is Trunk Area enabled, then the port will be persistently disabled. Note: Configurations that are not compatible with F_Port trunking are long distance, port mirroring, non-CORE_PID, and Fastwrite. ICL port AD If you issue the configupload command, consider the following: • A configuration file uploaded when AG mode is disabled cannot be downloaded when AG mode is enabled. • A configuration file uploaded when AG mode is enabled cannot be downloaded when AG mode is disabled. • A configuration file uploaded when the PG policy is enabled cannot be downloaded when the APC policy is enabled. • A configuration file uploaded when the APC policy is enabled cannot be downloaded when the PG policy is enabled. F_Port trunks are not allowed on ICL ports. The porttrunkarea command does not allow it. You cannot create a Trunk Area on ports with different Admin Domains.
