Trunking in Access Gateway mode 3 TABLE 8 Category Access Gateway trunking considerations for the Edge switch (Continued) Description D.I. Zoning (D,I) AD (D, I) DCC and (PWWN, I) DCC Creating a Trunk Area may remove the Index ("I") from the switch to be grouped to the Trunk Area. All ports in a Trunk Area share the same "I". This means that Domain,Index (D,I), which refer to an "I", that might have been removed, will no longer be part of the switch. Note: Ensure to include AD, zoning and DCC when creating a Trunk Area. You can remove the port from the Trunk Area to have the "I" back into effect. D,I will behave as normal, but you may see the effects of grouping ports into a single "I". Also, D,I continues to work for Trunk Area groups. The "I" can be used in D,I if the "I" was the "I" for the Trunk Area group. Two masters QoS Note: "I" refers to Index and D,I refers to Domain,Index. Two masters is not supported in the same F_Port trunk group. Supported. The following table describes the PWWN format for F_Port and N_Port trunk ports. TABLE 9 PWWN format for F_Port and N_Port trunk ports NAA = 2 2f:xx:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn (1) Port WWNs for: switch's FX_Ports. The valid range of xx is [0 - FF], for maximum of 256. NAA = 2 25:xx:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn (1) Port WWNs for: switch's FX_Ports The valid range of xx is [0 - FF], for maximum of 256. Trunking considerations for Access Gateway module Consider the following for Trunking in Access Gateway mode: • Access Gateway trunking is not supported on M-EOS or third-party switches. • Trunk groups cannot span across multiple N_Port groups within an AG module in AG mode. Multiple trunk groups are allowed within the same N_Port group. All ports within a trunk group must be part of the same port group; ports outside of a port group cannot form a trunk group • The ag -wwnmapshow command will not display trunking for device-mapped ports. If a device is mapped to a port with device mapping and that port is currently part of a trunk, then the device will use that trunk. When trunking is used with Device Load Balancing Policy, then the load on each trunk will be proportional to the number of ports in that trunk. Use the ag -show command to determine the devices using a particular trunk. Upgrade and downgrade considerations for Trunking in Access Gateway mode Upgrading and downgrading from Fabric OS v6.4.0 to Fabric OS v6.3.0 and earlier is supported.
