Displaying F_Port trunking information, Disabling F_Port trunking

Page 481 highlights

Managing Trunking Connections ∙ If a port is enabled for F_Port trunking, you must disable the configuration before you can move a port from the logical switch. ∙ If the user-bound area for a port is configured by means of the portAddress command, the port cannot be configured as an F_Port trunk port. You must explicitly remove the user-bound area before enabling F_Port trunking. ∙ If you swap a port by using the portSwap command, you must undo the port swap before enabling F_Port trunking. ∙ F_Port trunks are not allowed on the base switch because you cannot have F_Ports on the base switch. ∙ If F_Port trunking is enabled on some ports in the default switch, and you disable Virtual Fabrics, all of the F_Port trunking information is lost. ∙ All of the ports in an F_Port trunk must belong to a single trunk group of ports on the platform and must also belong to the same logical switch.

If a port is enabled for F_Port trunking, you must disable the configuration before you can move a port from the logical switch.
If the user-bound area for a port is configured by means of the
portAddress
command, the port cannot be configured as an
F_Port trunk port. You must explicitly remove the user-bound area before enabling F_Port trunking.
If you swap a port by using the
portSwap
command, you must undo the port swap before enabling F_Port trunking.
F_Port trunks are not allowed on the base switch because you cannot have F_Ports on the base switch.
If F_Port trunking is enabled on some ports in the default switch, and you disable Virtual Fabrics, all of the F_Port trunking
information is lost.
All of the ports in an F_Port trunk must belong to a single trunk group of ports on the platform and must also belong to the
same logical switch.
