Interswitch link (ISL) trunking optimizes network performance by forming trunking groups that can
distribute traffic across a shared bandwidth.
A trunking license is required on each switch that participates in the trunk. (For details on obtaining and
installing licensed features, refer to “Maintaining Licensed Features” on page 4-16.)
For additional information about ISL Trunking, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
Use the Trunking tab of the Switch Admin module to view and manage trunks through Web Tools (see
Figure 9-1).
