Managing Trunking Connections Configuring trunk groups After you install the Trunking license, you must re-initialize the ports that are to be used in trunk groups so that they recognize that trunking is enabled. This procedure needs to be performed only once, and is required for all types of trunking. To re-initialize the ports, you can either disable and then re-enable the switch, or disable and then re-enable the affected ports. 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the islShow command to determine which ports are used for ISLs. switch:admin> islshow 1: 0-> 0 10:00:00:05:1e:a2:f9:b1 QOS 2: 10-> 1 10:00:00:05:33:88:a1:d0 QOS CR_RECOV FEC 3: 12-> 2 10:00:00:05:33:88:a1:d0 QOS CR_RECOV 4: 16-> 0 10:00:00:05:1e:a1:99:09 3 SW_43 sp: 4.000G bw: 4.000G TRUNK 1 bodc_switch_sw_66_rename_limit sp: 16.000G bw: 16.000G TRUNK 1 bodc_switch_sw_66_rename_limit sp: 8.000G bw: 8.000G TRUNK 5 bodc_switch_20_chars sp: 8.000G bw: 8.000G QOS 3. Enter the portDisable command for each port to be used in a trunk group. Alternatively, you can enter the switchDisable command to disable all ports on the switch. 4. Enter the portEnable command for each port that you disabled in step 3, or enter the switchEnable command to enable all of the ports on the switch. NOTE F_Port trunking requires additional steps to configure the Trunk Area (TA). Refer to Configuring F_Port trunking for an Access Gateway on page 477 or Configuring F_Port trunking for a Brocade adapter on page 478 for information. Enabling trunking You can enable trunking for a single port or for an entire switch. Because trunking is automatically enabled when you install the Trunking license, you need to use this procedure only if trunking has been subsequently disabled on a port or switch. Enabling trunking disables and re-enables the affected ports. As a result, traffic through these ports may be temporarily disrupted. 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the portCfgTrunkPort command to enable trunking on a port. Enter the switchCfgTrunk command to enable trunking on all ports on the switch. portcfgtrunkport[slot/]port mode switchcfgtrunk mode Mode 1 enables trunking. In the following example, trunking is being enabled on slot 1, port 3. switch:admin> portcfgtrunkport 1/3 1 Disabling trunking You can disable trunking for a single port or for an entire switch. Disabling trunking disables and re-enables the affected ports. As a result, traffic through these ports may be temporarily disrupted. Trunking on ICLs is always enabled and cannot be disabled. Disabling trunking fails if a Trunk Area (TA) is enabled on the port. Use the portTrunkArea command to remove the TA before disabling trunking.
