Additional Trunking Options - HP ProCurve 9304M Installation And Configuration Manual

Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
These commands configure a trunk group consisting of 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports 1/1 and 2/1, then deploy the
trunk group. The trunk configuration does not take effect until you deploy it.
Syntax: [no] trunk [server | switch] ethernet <primary-portnum> to <secondary-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.
The <primary-portnum> parameter specifies the trunk group's primary port. You must specify an odd-numbered
slot. Valid primary ports are 1/1, 3/1, 5/1, 7/1, 9/1, 11/1, 13/1 and 13/1.
The <secondary-portnum> parameter specifies the secondary port in the trunk group. You must specify a port
that is in the next slot number up from the primary port. For example, if the primary port is 1/1, specify 2/1 as the
secondary port.
NOTE: Two-port trunk groups are supported for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. You cannot specify more than two ports.
To display configuration information and load-sharing statistics for the trunk group, enter the show trunk
command. See "Displaying Trunk Group Configuration Information" on page 7-19.

Additional Trunking Options

The CLI contains commands for doing the following:
• Naming a trunk port
• Disabling or re-enabling a trunk port
• Deleting a trunk group
NOTE: To monitor the traffic on a trunk port, see "Monitoring an Individual Trunk Port" on page 6-53.
Naming a Trunk Port
To name an individual port in a trunk group, enter a command such as the following at the trunk group
configuration level:
HP9300(config-trunk-4/1-4/4)# port-name customer1 ethernet 4/2
Syntax: [no] port-name <text> ethernet <portnum>
The <text> parameter specifies the port name. The name can be up to 50 characters long.
This command assigns the name "customer1" to port 4/2 in the trunk group consisting of ports 4/1 – 4/4.
Disabling or Re-Enabling a Trunk Port
You can disable or re-enable individual ports in a trunk group. To disable an individual port in a trunk group, enter
commands such as the following at the trunk group configuration level:
HP9300(config-trunk-4/1-4/4)# config-trunk-ind
HP9300(config-trunk-4/1-4/4)# disable ethernet 4/2
Syntax: [no] config-trunk-ind
Syntax: [no] disable ethernet <portnum>
The config-trunk-ind command enables configuration of individual ports in the trunk group. If you do not use this
command, the disable command will be valid only for the primary port in the trunk group and will disable all ports
in the trunk group. You need to enter the config-trunk-ind command only once in a trunk group. After you enter
the command, all applicable port configuration commands apply to individual ports only.
