Installation and Getting Started Guide
NOTE: This panel lists port ranges only for the slots that contain an active module. In addition, only the
ranges that are valid for the module are listed.
The port ranges listed by the panel contain four ports, but the default number of ports in a group is two. If you
select a group and leave the number of ports in a group at two, the software assigns the first two ports in the
group you select to the trunk group. The last two ports do not become members of the trunk group.
4. Select a port range. For example, you can select 1/5 – 1/8.
5. Select the number of ports you want to use in the trunk group. You can select 2 or 4.
6. Click in the checkbox next to Server to place a checkmark in the box if the other end of the trunk group is a
server. If the other end of the connection is an HP Routing Switch, do not click this checkbox.
7. Click Apply to save the changes to the device's running-config file.
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. If 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
Chassis Device
To configure a trunk group that spans two modules in an HP 9304M, HP 9308M, or HP 9315M 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
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 5-7. 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
