Port Trunking Example - HP 438031-B21 - 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Application Manual

Ports and trunking

Port trunking example

In this example, the Gigabit uplink ports on each switch are configured into a total of four trunk groups:
two on each switch.
NOTE: The actual mapping of switch ports to NIC interfaces is dependant on the operating
system software, the type of server blade, and the enclosure type. For more information, see the
HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch User Guide.
Port trunk group configuration example
Figure 1
The trunk groups are configured as follows:
Trunk groups 2-5 consist of two Gigabit uplink ports each, configured to act as a single link to the
upstream routers. The trunk groups on each switch are configured so that there is a link to each router for
redundancy.
Prior to configuring each switch in this example, you must connect to the appropriate switch CLI as the
administrator. For details about accessing and using any of the commands described in this example, see
the HP 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Command Reference.
