Trunking in Access Gateway mode 3 TABLE 10 Category Access Gateway trunking considerations for the Edge switch (Continued) Description Default Area portCfgTrunkPort port, 0 switchCfgTrunk 0 Port Swap Trunk Master Fast Write FICON FC8-48 blades FC4-32 blade Trunking PID format Long Distance Port mirroring Port speed Port X is a port that has its Default Area the same as its Trunk Area. The only time you can remove port X from the trunk group is if the entire trunk group has the Trunk Area disabled. portCfgTrunkPort port, 0 will fail if a Trunk Area is enabled on a port. The port must be Trunk Area-disabled first. switchCfgTrunk 0 will fail if a port has TA enabled. All ports on a switch must be TA disabled first. When you assign a Trunk Area to a Trunk group, the Trunk Area cannot be port swapped; if a port is swapped, then you cannot assign a Trunk Area to that port. No more than one trunk master in a trunk group. The second trunk master will be persistently disabled with reason "Area has been acquired". When you assign a Trunk Area to a trunk group, the trunk group cannot have fast write enabled on those ports; if a port is fastwrite-enabled, the port cannot be assigned a Trunk Area. FICON is not supported on F_Port trunk ports. However, FICON can still run on ports that are not F_Port trunked within the same switch. F_Port trunking does not support shared area ports on the Brocade FC8-48 blades in a 48000. F_Port trunking is supported on all ports on the Brocade FC8-48 in the DCX and DCX-4S. If an FC4-32 blade has the Trunk Area enabled on ports 16 - 31 and the blade is swapped with a FC8-48 blade, the Trunk Area ports will be persistently disabled. You can run the porttrunkarea command to assign a Trunk Area on those ports. You must first enable trunking on the port before the port can have a Trunk Area assigned to it. F_Port masterless trunking is only supported in CORE PID format. Long distance is not allowed when AG is enabled on a switch. This means you cannot enable long distance on ports that have a Trunk Area assigned to them. Port mirroring is not supported on Trunk Area ports or on the PID of an F_Port trunk port. Ports within a trunk must have the same port speed for a trunk to successfully be created. Access Gateway Administrator's Guide 63 53-1002743-01
