Troubleshooting trunking problems
If you have difficulty with trunking, try the solutions in this section.
Listing link characteristics
If a link that is part of an ISL Trunk fails, use the
trunkDebug
command to troubleshoot the problem,
as shown in the following procedure.
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
Enter the following command:
trunkDebug
port
,
port
The
trunkDebug
command displays the possible reason that two ports cannot be trunked. Possible
reasons are:
The switch does not support trunking.
A trunking license is required.
Trunking is not supported in switch interoperability mode.
