8. Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device's flash memory.
9. Click on the plus sign next to Command in the tree view to list the command options.
10. Select the Reload link and select Yes when the Web management interface asks you whether you really want
to reload the software.
11. 4If the other end of the trunk group is a Routing Switch, log in to the other device and follow the steps above.
Example 2: Configuring a Trunk Group That Spans Multiple Gigabit Ethernet Modules in a
Routing Switch
To configure a trunk group that spans two modules in an HP 9300 series Chassis device, use one of the following
methods.
USING THE CLI
To configure a trunk group consisting of two groups of ports, 1/1 – 1/4 on module 1 and 4/5 – 4/8 on module 4,
enter the following commands:
HP9300(config)# trunk ethernet 1/1 to 1/4 ethernet 4/5 to 4/8
HP9300(config-trunk-1/1-4/8)# write memory
HP9300(config-trunk-1/1-4/8)# exit
HP9300(config)# trunk deploy
NOTE: The trunk deploy command dynamically places trunk configuration changes into effect, without a
software reload. This command is supported only in software release 07.5.04 and later. If you are running a
release earlier than 07.5.04, you must reload the software to place trunk configuration changes into effect.
CLI Syntax
Syntax: [no] trunk [server | switch] ethernet <primary-portnum> to <portnum>
ethernet <primary-portnum> to <portnum>
Syntax: trunk deploy
The server | switch parameter specifies whether the trunk ports will be connected to a server or to another
Routing Switch. This parameter affects the type of load balancing performed by the HP device. See "Trunk Group
Load Sharing" on page 7-7. The default is switch.
Each ethernet parameter introduces a port group.
The <primary-portnum> to <portnum> parameters specify a port group. Notice that each port group must begin
with a primary port. After you enter this command, the primary port of the first port group specified (which must be
the group with the lower port numbers) becomes the primary port for the entire trunk group. For Gigabit Ethernet
modules, the primary ports are 1, 3, 5, and 7.
To configure a trunk group consisting of two groups of two ports each, enter commands such as the following:
HP9300(config)# trunk ethernet 1/1 to 1/2 ethernet 3/3 to 3/4
HP9300(config)# write memory
HP9300(config)# trunk deploy
Notice that the groups of ports meet the criteria for a multi-slot trunk group. Each group contains the same
number of ports (two) and begins on a primary port (1/1 and 3/3).
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
2. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to display the configuration options.
3. Select the Trunk link.
• If the device does not have any trunk groups configured, the Trunk configuration panel is displayed, as
shown in the following example.
