2 switchCfgTrunk switchCfgTrunk Enables or disables trunking on all the ports of a switch. SYNOPSIS switchcfgtrunk mode DESCRIPTION NOTES OPERANDS EXAMPLES SEE ALSO Use this command to enable or disable trunking on all the ports of a switch. Use portCfgTrunkPort to enable or disable trunking on a single port. When the command is executed to update the trunking configuration, the ports to which the configuration applies are disabled and subsequently re-enabled with the new trunking configuration. Traffic through these ports may be temporarily disrupted. The command issues a message that lists the VE/VEX_Ports to which the configuration does not apply. Although trunking configuration changes are applied at the switch level, they are tracked as a per-port attribute and no switch-wide attribute is maintained to keep track of these changes. Whenever a new port comes online as part of the switch, you must reapply the trunking configuration. For example, If you remove a blade from a chassis while trunking is enabled for the ports on the blade, and you disable trunking on the switch after you removed the blade, the blade ports will come online with trunking enabled after you reinsert the blade. To avoid potentially disruptive behavior, reapply the trunking configuration. Trunking on Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) ports is always enabled and cannot be turned off by this command. Disabling trunking fails if a Trunk Area (TA) is enabled on the port. Use the portTrunkArea command to disable the TA on all ports before disabling trunking. Enabling trunking requires an ISL Trunking license. You may disable trunking without a license. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. The following operand is required: mode Specify 1 to enable trunking on all ports.
