Synopsis porttrunkarea --enable [slot/]port1[-port2] -index port_index

porttrunkarea --disable all
porttrunkarea --show disabled | enabled | trunk | all
porttrunkarea --show slot/port1[-port2]
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.
