ISL Trunking
HP ISL Trunking is optional software that enables creating trunking groups of ISLs between adjacent
switches. Up to eight FC ports on the HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch can be used as a trunking
group to achieve speeds of up to 128 Gb/s (256 Gb/s full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization
and load balancing.
For example, the FC ports on the SAN Switch are numbered from left to right and color-coded in
groups of eight to indicate which ports you can combine into trunking groups.
shows the switch with three trunking groups of eight ports.
NOTE: If your switch is licensed for ISL Trunking, use the trunking groups available on the switch.
