Configuring Trunk Mode

To configure trunk mode, perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configuration terminal
2. switch(config)# interface {fc slot/port | vfc vfc-id}
3. switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode on
4. switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode off
5. switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode auto
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1 switch# configuration terminal
Step 2 switch(config)# interface {fc slot/port | vfc
vfc-id}
Step 3 switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode on
Step 4 switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode off
Step 5 switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode auto
The following example shows how to configure a vFC interface in trunk mode.
switch# config t
switch#(config)# vfc 200
switch(config-if)# switchport trunk mode on
The following example shows the output for the vFC interface 200 in trunk mode.
switch(config-if)# show interface vfc200
vfc200 is trunking (Not all VSANs UP on the trunk)
OL-xxxxx-xx
Bound interface is Ethernet1/3
Hardware is Virtual Fibre Channel
Port WWN is 20:c7:00:0d:ec:f2:08:ff
Peer port WWN is 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00
Admin port mode is E, trunk mode is on
snmp link state traps are enabled
Port mode is TE
Port vsan is 1
Trunk vsans (admin allowed and active) (1-6,10,22)
Trunk vsans (up)
Trunk vsans (isolated)
Trunk vsans (initializing)
5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 bytes/sec, 0 frames/sec
5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 bytes/sec, 0 frames/sec
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures the specified Fibre Channel or virtual Fibre Channel
interface.
Enables (default) the trunk mode for the specified interface.
Disables the trunk mode for the specified interface.
Trunk mode cannot be turned off for virtual Fibre
Note
Channel interfaces.
Configures the trunk mode to auto mode, which provides
automatic sensing for the interface.
