8 Administering ISL trunking This chapter contains the following information: • Displaying trunk group information, page 79 • Disabling or reenabling trunking mode on a port, page 80 ISL trunking optimizes network performance by forming trunking groups that can distribute traffic across a shared bandwidth. A trunking license is required on each switch that participates in the trunk. (For details on obtaining and installing licensed features, see "Maintaining licensed features" on page 47.) For additional information about ISL Trunking, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x administrator guide. Use the Trunking tab of the Switch Admin module to view and manage trunks through Advanced Web Tools (see Figure 25). Figure 25 Trunking tab Displaying trunk group information Use this procedure to display the following information about ISL Trunking groups: • Trunk group number identifier • Master port • Member ports Fabric OS 5.x Advanced Web Tools administrator guide 79
