Configuring a trunk group
11
PowerConnect(config)#trunk ethernet 1 to 2 ethernet 3 to 4
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
PowerConnect(config)#write memory
PowerConnect(config)#trunk deploy
Example 1: Configuring the trunk groups shown in Figure 75
To configure the trunk groups shown in Figure 74, enter the following commands. Notice that the
commands are entered on multiple devices.
To configure the trunk group link between device1 and the device,enter the following commands.
NOTE
The text shown in italics in the CLI example below shows messages echoed to the screen in answer
to the CLI commands entered.
PowerConnect(config)#trunk e 5 to 8
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
PowerConnect(config)#write memory
PowerConnect(config)#trunk deploy
To configure the trunk group link between device2 and the server,enter the following commands
PowerConnect(config)#trunk e 2 to 4
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
PowerConnect(config)#write memory
PowerConnect(config)#trunk deploy
You then configure the trunk group on the device.
PowerConnect(config)#trunk ethernet 17 to 18
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
PowerConnect(config)#write memory
PowerConnect(config)#trunk deploy
NOTE
The trunk deploy command dynamically places trunk configuration changes into effect, without a
software reload.
Example 2: Configuring a trunk group that spans
two Gbps Ethernet modules in a chassis device
This section shows how to configure a trunk group that spans two modules in a chassis device.
Multi-slot trunk groups are supported on 1-GbE ports, 10-GbE ports , as well as on static and LACP
trunk ports.
To configure a trunk group consisting of two groups of ports, 1 – 2 on module 1 and 5 – 6 on
module 4, enter the following commands.
PowerConnect(config)#trunk ethernet 1 to 2 ethernet 5 to 6
Trunk will be created in next trunk deploy
PowerConnect(config)#write memory
PowerConnect(config)#trunk deploy
