Enabling and disabling ISL Trunking

Page 371 highlights

As a result, traffic through those ports could be disrupted. IMPORTANT: Trunking is performed based on QoS configuration on the master and the slave ports. That is, in a given trunk group, if there are some ports with QoS enabled and some with QoS disabled, they would form two different trunks, one with QoS enabled and the other with QoS disabled. For more information, see "QoS zones" on page 306. To enable or disable ISL Trunking on one port: 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Issue the portCfgTrunkPort command: portcfgtrunkport [slotnumber/]portnumber mode where: • slotnumber specifies the number of the slot in which the port blade containing the port is located. This operand is required only for Directors. • portnumber specifies the number of the port on which you want to enable or disable trunking. • mode enables (1) or disables (0) trunking on the specified port. The following example enables trunking on slot 1, port 3: switch:admin> portcfgtrunkport 1/3 1 done. switch:admin> To enable or disable ISL Trunking for all of the ports on a switch: 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Issue the switchCfgTrunk command. The format is: switchcfgtrunk mode Mode 1 enables and mode 0 disables ISL Trunking for all ports on the switch. The following example enables trunking all ports in the switch: switch:admin> switchcfgtrunk 1 Committing configuration...done. switch:admin> Fabric OS 6.1.x administrator guide 371

traffic is redistributed over the remaining two links in the group, ports 5 and 7:

Enabling and disabling ISL Trunking
You can enable or disable ISL Trunking for a single port or for an entire switch.When you execute the
commands
portCfgTrunkPort
or
switchCfgTrunk
to update the trunking configuration, the ports
for which the configuration applies are disabled and re-enabled with the new trunk configuration. As a
result, traffic through those ports could be disrupted.
IMPORTANT:
Trunking is performed based on QoS configuration on the master and the slave ports. That
is, in a given trunk group, if there are some ports with QoS enabled and some with QoS disabled, they
would form two different trunks, one with QoS enabled and the other with QoS disabled. For more
information, see ”
QoS zones
” on page 306.
To enable or disable ISL Trunking on one port:
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
Issue the
portCfgTrunkPort
command:
portcfgtrunkport [
slotnumber/
]
portnumber mode
where:
slotnumber
specifies the number of the slot in which the port blade containing the port is located.
This operand is required only for Directors.
portnumber
specifies the number of the port on which you want to enable or disable trunking.
mode
enables (1) or disables (0) trunking on the specified port.
The following example enables trunking on slot 1, port 3:
switch:admin> portcfgtrunkport 1/3 1
done.
switch:admin>
To enable or disable ISL Trunking for all of the ports on a switch:
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
Issue the
switchCfgTrunk
command. The format is:
switchcfgtrunk mode
Mode 1 enables and mode 0 disables ISL Trunking for all ports on the switch.
The following example enables trunking all ports in the switch:
switch:admin> switchcfgtrunk 1
Committing configuration...done.
switch:admin>
