After you assign a Trunk Area, the portTrunkArea CLI checks whether there are any active DCC policies on the port with the index TA, and then issues a warning to add all the device WWNs to the existing DCC policy with index as TA. All DCC policies that refer to an Index that no longer exists will not be in effect. 2. Add the WWN of all the devices to the DCC policy against the TA. 3. Issue the secPolicyActivate command to activate the DCC policy. You must enable the TA before issuing the secPolicyActivate command in order for security to enforce the DCC policy on the trunk ports. 4. Turn on the trunk ports. Trunk ports should be turned on after issuing the secPolicyActivate command to prevent the ports from becoming disabled in the case where there is a DCC security policy violation. Disabling F_Port trunking 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Issue the portTrunkArea --disable command. switch:admin> porttrunkarea --disable 36-39 ERROR: port 36 has to be disabled Disable each port prior to removing ports from the TA and then reissue the command: switch:admin> porttrunkarea --disable 36-39 Trunk area 37 disabled for ports 36, 37, 38 and 39. F_Port Trunking Monitoring For F_Port masterless trunking, you must install Filter, EE or TT monitors on the F_Port trunk port. Whenever the master port changes, it is required to move the monitor to the new master port. For example, if a master port goes down, a new master is selected from the remaining slave ports. APM must delete the monitor from the old master and install the monitor on new master port. If you attempt to add a monitor to a slave port, it is automatically added to the master port. Configuration management for trunk areas Ports from different ADs are not allowed to join the same Trunk Area group. The portTrunkArea command prevents the different AD's from joining the TA group. When you assign a TA, the ports within the TA group will have the same Index. The Index that was assigned to the ports is no longer part of the switch. Any Domain,Index (D,I) AD that was assumed to be part of the domain may no longer exist for that domain because it was removed from the switch. Fabric OS 6.1.x administrator guide 383

Enabling the DCC policy on trunk
1.
After you assign a Trunk Area, the portTrunkArea CLI checks whether there are any active DCC policies
on the port with the index TA, and then issues a warning to add all the device WWNs to the existing
DCC policy with index as TA.
All DCC policies that refer to an Index that no longer exists will not be in effect.
2.
Add the WWN of all the devices to the DCC policy against the TA.
3.
Issue the
secPolicyActivate
command to activate the DCC policy.
You must enable the TA before issuing the
secPolicyActivate
command in order for security to
enforce the DCC policy on the trunk ports.
4.
Turn on the trunk ports.
Trunk ports should be turned on after issuing the
secPolicyActivate
command to prevent the ports
from becoming disabled in the case where there is a DCC security policy violation.
Disabling F_Port trunking
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
Issue the
portTrunkArea --disable
command
.
switch:admin> porttrunkarea --disable 36-39
ERROR: port 36 has to be disabled
Disable each port prior to removing ports from the TA and then reissue the command:
switch:admin> porttrunkarea --disable 36-39
Trunk area 37 disabled for ports 36, 37, 38 and 39.
F_Port Trunking Monitoring
For F_Port masterless trunking, you must install Filter, EE or TT monitors on the F_Port trunk port. Whenever
the master port changes, it is required to move the monitor to the new master port. For example, if a master
port goes down, a new master is selected from the remaining slave ports. APM must delete the monitor
from the old master and install the monitor on new master port. If you attempt to add a monitor to a slave
port, it is automatically added to the master port.
Configuration management for trunk areas
Ports from different ADs are not allowed to join the same Trunk Area group. The
portTrunkArea
command prevents the different AD's from joining the TA group.
When you assign a TA, the ports within the TA group will have the same Index. The Index that was
assigned to the ports is no longer part of the switch. Any Domain,Index (D,I) AD that was assumed to be
part of the domain may no longer exist for that domain because it was removed from the switch.
