Chapter 19, Managing Trunking Connections

In the section “Trunking overview,” on page 425, add the following bullet:

• N_Port Trunking configurations are between a switch and a Brocade Host Bus Adapter (HBA).

See “Configuring N_Port trunking for Brocade adapters” and the Brocade Adapters

Administrators Guide for more information about configuring this type of trunking.

Add the following section at the end of the chapter:

Configuring N_Port trunking for Brocade adapters

N_Port trunking requires configuration on the FC switch as well as on the Brocade HBAs. This

section describes the configuration steps you do on the switch. See the Brocade Adapters

Administrator’s Guide for a detailed description and requirements of N_Port trunking.

1. On the switch side, perform the following steps:

a. Configure both ports for trunking using the portCfgTrunkPort command.

switch:admin> portcfgtrunkport 3/40 1

switch:admin> portcfgtrunkport 3/41 1

b. Disable the ports to be used for trunking using the portDisable command.

switch:admin> portdisable 3/40

switch:admin> portdisable 3/41

c. Enable the trunk on the ports using the portTrunkArea command.

switch:admin> porttrunkarea --enable 3/40-41 -index 296

Trunk index 296 enabled for ports 3/40 and 3/41.

2. On the host side, enable trunking as described in the Brocade Adapters Administrator’s Guide.

3. On the switch side, enable the ports using the portEnable command.

switch:admin> portenable 3/40

switch:admin> portenable 3/41
