portCfgTrunkPort 2 portCfgTrunkPort Enables or disables trunking on a port. SYNOPSIS portcfgtrunkport [slot/]port[,] mode DESCRIPTION NOTES OPERANDS EXAMPLES SEE ALSO Use this command to enable or disable trunking on a port. Use switchCfgTrunk to enable or disable trunking on all ports of a switch. When the command is executed to update the trunking configuration, the port to which the configuration applies is disabled and subsequently re-enabled with the new trunking configuration. Traffic through the ports may be temporarily disrupted. Disabling trunking fails if a Trunk Area (TA) is enabled on the port. Use the portTrunkArea command to remove the TA 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 Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports. Virtual FC Ports do not support frame-based trunking . If trunking is enabled for one of these ports in a slot, and a Brocade FX8-24 Extension blade is inserted into the slot, the configuration is not honored and the system logs a RASLOG error. An attempt to enable trunking for a Virtual FC port in a slot that contains a Brocade FX8-24 is rejected. This command has the following operands: slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured, followed by a slash (/). port Specifies the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow to display a listing of valid ports. mode Specify 1 to enable trunking on the specified port. Specify 0 to disable trunking on the port. This operand is required. Trunking is enabled by default, when a trunking license is present on the switch.
