Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 29. 2. Click the Trunking tab. 3. Optional: Click Refresh to refresh the information. Disabling or reenabling trunking mode on a port When the trunking license is activated, trunks are automatically established on eligible ISLs and trunking capability is enabled by default on all ports. Use the following procedure to disable trunking on a port or to reenable trunking if it has been disabled. Trunking is not supported on logical ports, GbE ports, or EX_Ports. 78 Web Tools Administrator's Guide 53-1000606-01
