SAN Switch ISL Trunking groups All 8-Gb SAN Switch models support Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking as an optional, licensed feature for FC ports. When this feature is enabled, trunked groups of up to eight contiguous ports are created. For example, the Fibre Channel ports on the SAN Switch are numbered from left to right and color-coded into groups of eight to indicate which ports you can combine into trunked groups. Figure 9 shows the 8/8 SAN Switch with three trunked groups of eight ports. NOTE: If your 8-Gb SAN Switch is licensed for ISL Trunking (for example, Power Pack+ models ship with this license), use the trunking groups available on the switch. 1. Trunk group 1: Ports 0 through 7 2. Trunk group 2: Ports 8 through 15 3. Trunk group 3: Ports 16 though 23 Figure 9 Trunking groups example For more information about trunking, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS administrator guide for the firmware version you are running. 8-Gb SAN Switch hardware reference manual 27

SAN Switch ISL Trunking groups
All 8-Gb SAN Switch models support Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking as an
optional
, licensed feature
for FC ports. When this feature is enabled, trunked groups of up to eight contiguous ports are created.
For example, the Fibre Channel ports on the SAN Switch are numbered from left to right and
color-coded into groups of eight to indicate which ports you can combine into trunked groups.
Figure
9
shows the 8/8 SAN Switch with three trunked groups of eight ports.
NOTE:
If your 8-Gb SAN Switch is licensed for ISL Trunking (for example, Power Pack+ models ship with
this license), use the trunking groups available on the switch.
3. Trunk group 3: Ports 16 though 23
1. Trunk group 1: Ports 0 through 7
2. Trunk group 2: Ports 8 through 15
