Enabling the DCC policy on a Trunk Area

After you assign a Trunk Area, the portTrunkArea CLI checks whether there are any active DCC policies
on the port with the index TA, and then issues a warning to add all the device WWNs to the existing DCC
policy with index as TA.
All DCC policies that see an Index that no longer exists will not be in effect.
1. Add the WWN of all the devices to the DCC policy against the TA.
2. Enter the secPolicyActivate command to activate the DCC policy.
You must enable the TA before issuing the secPolicyActivate command in order for security to
enforce the DCC policy on the trunk ports.
3. Turn on the trunk ports.
Trunk ports should be turned on after issuing the secPolicyActivate command to prevent the ports
from becoming disabled in the case where there is a DCC security policy violation.

Disabling F_Port trunking

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the portTrunkArea --disable command
This command does not unassign a TA if its previously assigned Area_ID is the same address identifier
(Area_ID) of the TA unless all the ports in the trunk group are specified to be unassigned.
switch:admin> porttrunkarea --disable 36-39
ERROR: port 36 has to be disabled
Disable each port prior to removing ports from the TA. Then reenter the command:
switch:admin> porttrunkarea --disable 36-39
Trunk area 37 disabled for ports 36, 37, 38 and 39.

F_Port Trunking monitoring

For F_Port masterless trunking, you must install Filter, EE, or TT monitors on the F_Port trunk port. Whenever
the master port changes, you must move the monitor to the new master port. For example, if a master port
goes down, a new master is selected from the remaining slave ports. APM must delete the monitor from the
