2 portTrunkArea portTrunkArea Synopsis Assigns or removes a trunk area (TA) from a port or port trunk group; displays masterless F_Port trunking configuration. porttrunkarea --enable [slot/]port[-Range] -index port_index porttrunkarea --disable [slot/]port[-Range] porttrunkarea --disable all porttrunkarea --show disabled | enabled | trunk | all porttrunkarea --show slot/port[-Range] Description Use this command to assign a static trunk area (TA) on a port or port trunk group, to remove a TA from a port or group of ports in a trunk, and to display masterless F_Port trunking information. In Fabric OS v6.3.0 and later, the TA is identified by the port index number displayed in the output of the switchShow command. Masterless F_Port trunking interoperates between the Access Gateway (AG) and Condor-based platforms. It is designed to (1) prevent reassignments of virtual addresses when F_Ports come back online after going offline and (2) to increase N_Port bandwidth. Assigning a TA to a port or trunk group enables F_Port masterless trunking on that port or trunk group. When a TA is assigned to a port or trunk group, the ports immediately acquires the TA as the area of their process IDs (PID). Likewise, when a TA is removed from a port or trunk group, the ports reverts to the default area as their PID. Use the --show option to obtain configuration details including the following information. Slot On enterprise-class platforms, displays the slotnumber. Port Displays the port number. Type Displays online masterless trunked F_Port or EX_Port if applicable. Otherwise displays --. State Displays Trunk Master, Slave, or --. Master Displays the master port of the trunk group. TA On standalone switches, displays the user assigned TA number. DA On standalone switches, displays the default port area. The default area can be a port swapped area. TI On enterprise-class platforms, displays the user-assigned TA port index. DI On enterprise-class platforms, displays the default port index. The default port index can be a port swapped area. The --show trunk option displays the following information: Trunk Index Displays the trunk index. ptA->ptB ptA indicates the local user port; ptB indicates the remote user port. sp Port speed in Gbps. bw Port bandwidth in Gbps. 750 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001337-01
