Chapter 8 Fibre Channel Commands trunk protocol enable Send comments to [email protected] trunk protocol enable To configure the trunking protocol for Fibre Channel interfaces, use the trunk protocol enable command. To disable this feature, use the no form of the command. trunk protocol enable no trunk protocol enable Syntax Description This command has no other arguments or keywords. Command Default Enabled. Command Modes Configuration mode Command History Release 4.0(0)N1(1a) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines If the trunking protocol is disabled on a switch, no port on that switch can apply new trunk configurations. Existing trunk configurations are not affected, and the TE port continues to function in trunking mode, but only supports traffic in VSANs that it negotiated previously (when the trunking protocol was enabled). Also, other switches that are directly connected to this switch are similarly affected on the connected interfaces. In some cases, you may need to merge traffic from different port VSANs across a nontrunking ISL. Before you merge traffic, you need to disable the trunking protocol. Examples The following example shows how to disable the trunk protocol feature: switch(config)# no trunk protocol enable The following example shows how to enable the trunk protocol feature: switch(config)# trunk protocol enable Related Commands Command Description show trunk protocol Displays the trunk protocol status.
