Configuring Trunk Mode and VSAN List Chapter 24 Configuring Trunking Send documentation comments to [email protected] Tip The preferred configuration on the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches is one side of the trunk set to auto and the other side set to on. Note When connected to a third-party switch, the trunk mode configuration on E ports has no effect. The ISL is always in a trunking disabled state. In the case of F ports, if the third-party core switch ACC's physical FLOGI with the EVFP bit is configured, then EVFP protocol enables trunking on the link. Configuring Trunk Mode To configure trunk mode using Fabric Manager, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Expand Interfaces and then select FC Physical. You see the interface configuration in the Information pane. Click the Trunk Config tab to modify the trunking mode for the selected interface. You see the information shown in Figure 24-5. Figure 24-5 Trunking Configuration Step 3 Step 4 Make changes to the Admin and Allowed VSANs values. Click the Trunk Failures tab to check if a link did not come up. You see the reason listed in the FailureCause column (see Figure 24-6).
