A port group or a quad is a set of sequential ports, for example ports 0-3. The Brocade 300 switch supports a trunk group with up to eight ports. The trunking groups are based on the user port number, with contiguous eight ports as one group, such as 0 - 7, 8- 15, 16-23 and up to the number of ports on the switch.

Access Gateway trunking
2
The following table describes the PWWN format for F_Port and N_Port trunk ports.
Trunk group creation
Port trunking is enabled between two separate Fabric OS switches that support trunking and where
all the ports on each switch reside in the same quad and are running the same speed. Trunk
groups form when you connect two or more cables on one Fabric OS switch to another Fabric OS
switch with ports in the same port group or quad. A port group or a quad is a set of sequential
ports, for example ports 0-3. The Brocade 300 switch supports a trunk group with up to eight ports.
The trunking groups are based on the user port number, with contiguous eight ports as one group,
such as 0 – 7, 8- 15, 16-23 and up to the number of ports on the switch.
Setting up F_Port trunking
F_Port trunking is enabled between two separate Fabric OS switches that support trunking and
where all the ports on each switch reside in the same quad and are running the same speed. Trunk
groups form when you connect two or more cables on one Fabric OS switch to another Fabric OS
switch with ports in the same port group or quad. A port group or a quad is a set of sequential
ports, for example ports 0-3 in the figure shown below. The Brocade 300 platform supports a trunk
group with up to eight ports. The trunking groups are based on the user port number, with
contiguous eight ports as one group, such as 0 – 7, 8- 15, 16-23 and up to the number of ports on
the switch.
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
Ensure that both modules (Edge switch and the switch running in AG mode) have the trunking
licenses enabled.
3.
Ensure that the ports have trunking enabled by issuing the
portcfgshow
command. If Trunking
is not enabled, issue the
portcfgtrunkport
<port>, 1
command.
4.
Ensure that ports will become the same speed within the trun
k.
5.
Ensure that Edge switch F_Port trunk ports are connected within the asic supported trunk
group on AG switch.
6.
Ensure that both modules are running the same Fabric OS versions.
7.
Configure the trunk on the Edge switch by assigning the Trunk Area (TA) using the
“Assigning a
Trunk Area”
procedure.
8.
Enable F_Port trunking.
