Portcfgtrunkport - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade 8/12c Command Reference Manual

portCfgTrunkPort

Enables or disables trunking on a port.
SYNOPSIS
portcfgtrunkport [slot/]port[,] mode
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to enable or disable trunking on a port. Use switchCfgTrunk to enable or disable
trunking on all ports of a switch.
When the command is executed to update the trunking configuration, the port to which the configuration
applies is disabled and subsequently re-enabled with the new trunking configuration. Traffic through the
ports may be temporarily disrupted.
Disabling trunking fails if a Trunk Area (TA) is enabled on the port. Use the portTrunkArea command to
remove the TA before disabling trunking.
NOTES
Enabling trunking requires an ISL Trunking license. You may disable trunking without a license.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
The Fabric OS port configuration commands are not supported on FCoE ports.
Virtual FC Ports do not support frame-based trunking . If trunking is enabled for one of these ports in a
slot, and a Brocade FX8-24 Extension blade is inserted into the slot, the configuration is not honored and
the system logs a RASLOG error. An attempt to enable trunking for a Virtual FC port in a slot that
contains a Brocade FX8-24 is rejected.
