Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the portDisable command for each port to be included in the TA. 3. Enter the portTrunkArea --enable command to enable the Trunk Area for ports 36-39 with index number 37. switch:admin> porttrunkarea --enable 36-39 -index 37 Trunk index 37 enabled for ports 36, 37, 38 and 39. When you assign a trunk area on a port, it enables trunking on the F_Ports automatically. This command does not unassign a TA if its previously assigned Area_ID is the same address identifier (Area_ID) of the TA unless all the ports in the trunk group are specified to be unassigned. 4. Re-enable ports 36-39 by issuing portEnable for each port in the TA. 5. Enter the switchshow command to display the switch and port information. 6. Enter the porttrunkarea --show enabled command to display the TA-enabled port configuration. switch:admin> porttrunkarea --show enabled Port Type State Master TA DA 36 F-port Master 36 37 36 37 F-port Slave 36 37 37 38 F-port Slave 36 37 38 39 F-port Slave 36 37 39 7.

All DCC policies that refer to an Index that no longer exists will not be in effect. 1. Add the WWN of all the devices to the DCC policy against the TA. 2. Enter the secPolicyActivate command to activate the DCC policy. You must enable the TA before issuing the secPolicyActivate command in order for security to enforce the DCC policy on the trunk ports. 3. Turn on the trunk ports. 442 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 53-1001336-01
