Trunking Over Extended Fabrics; Trunking Distances - HP AE370A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch 4/12 Administrator's Manual

This example shows three trunking groups (1, 2, and 3); ports 1, 4, and 14 are masters:
switch:admin> trunkshow
1: 1 -> 1
0 -> 0
2: 4 -> 4
5 -> 5
7 -> 7
6 -> 6
3:14 -> 14
15 -> 15
switch:admin>

Trunking over Extended Fabrics

In addition to the criteria listed in
for trunking over extended fabrics:
• ISL Trunking over extended fabrics is supported on switches running Fabric OS v3.2.0 (or later) or
v4.4.0 (or later).
Extended Fabrics and ISL Trunking licenses are required on all participating switches.
•
• The vc_translation_link_init parameter must be set the same on all ports in an extended
trunk. (For details on this parameter, see
