Disabling or Reenabling Trunking Mode on a Port

When the trunking license is activated, trunks are automatically established on eligible ISLs and

trunking capability is enabled by default on all ports. Use the following procedure to disable trunking on

a port or to reenable trunking if it has been disabled.

To disable or reenable trunking mode on a port

1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 4-3.

2. Click the Ports tab (see Figure 4-4 on page 4-12).

3. This step is switch-specific:

For SilkWorm 12000, 24000, and 48000 directors, click the slot subtab that corresponds to the

correct slot for the logical switch.

For SilkWorm 200E, 3014, 3016, 3250, 3850, 3900, 4012, and 4100 switches, proceed directly to

the next step.

4. To enable trunking mode on a port, click the checkbox in the Enable Trunking column that

corresponds to the port you want to trunk.

To disable trunking mode on a port, uncheck the box.

5. Click Apply.

Note

The SilkWorm 3016 switch has two external ports that are available for ISL Trunking. The 14 internal

ports have ISL Trunking disabled as they attach only to host devices. Refer to the Fabric OS

Administrator’s Guide for additional details.
